Directions
SWEET AND SOUR LEEKS
Fry the bacon, garlic and onion until soft and brown, then add the seasonings and juniper. Mix in well with the meat. Add the flour and eggs to form a stiff paste. Chill. On a floured board roll into rissoles or small cakes and chill until ready to cook.
Sweet and sour leeks:
Finely slice a medium leek into 'juliennes' (matchsticks) and blanch in boiling water for one minute, refresh.
Reduce stock with wine vinegar and soft brown sugar by half. Whisk in a knob of butter and just prior to serving add the leeks.
To serve, fry the rissoles in hot oil for five minutes each side until brown and crisp. Leave in a warm oven for 10 minutes before serving to ensure that the cakes are evenly cooked. Serve on top of the sweet and sour leeks.
