Directions

Strong flavours here - leeks saut‚ed with olives and parsley - that are reminiscent of French regional cookery. Lovely with a rice dish, or with the crŠpes alla parmigiana parizzi.

Saut‚ the sliced leeks gently in the olive oil, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the olives and the chopped parsley, and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and it is ready to serve.
