Instructions
- Cut the brussels sprouts into half and remove the tough ends.
- Rinse the leeks well with plenty of cold water to remove any dirt that might hide and chop them.
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic cloves.
- In a large pan, heat up the oil and add the butter - allow it to melt.
- Add the chopped onion and fry until golden, then add the garlic, leeks and brussels sprouts and sautee for 5 minutes.
- Pour over the water, place a lid on the pan, and leave to cook until the water is evaporated and the veggies are tender.
- In a separate pan, make the bechamel sauce.
- Melt the butter, add the flour and whisk well to get a smooth paste.
- Pour over the milk, and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cheeses, dijon mustard and seasoning and mix well to get a cheesy sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the veggies and mix well to combine.
- Transfer everything to an ovenproof dish and top with the breadcrumbs and remaining grated cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling hot.
Notes
- Although it works beautifully as a vegetarian side dish, you can also add any other leftover meat to it too - if you don't have leftovers, make sure the meat is cooked before adding it to the sauce and veggies.
- Leftover ham, chicken, turkey, beef or ham would make a great addition to it, especially that around this time of the year, and in particular after big feasts, there are always leftovers.
