Braised leeks with hazelnuts recipe

0 ratings

If you’re cooking for kids, use just apple juice instead of wine and water – it will cook down to a deliciously sweet glaze. See method

Ingredients

20g (3/4oz) hazelnuts
20g (3/4oz) butter
600g leeks, trimmed and cut into 5cm lengths
100ml (3 1/2fl oz) white wine mixed with 100ml (3 1/2fl oz) water, or 200ml (7fl oz) apple juice
2 tbsp dill, roughly chopped

If you don't have any leeks, try using spring or white onions instead

Toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan set over a medium heat. Leave to cool a little, then roughly chop and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the leeks and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the wine and water, or apple juice, and 1 tbsp dill. Season well and cover.
Cook for a further 15-20 minutes, until the leeks are tender and glazed (very little liquid should remain in the pan). To serve, transfer to a serving dish and scatter over the remaining dill and the chopped hazelnuts.
