Tender braised leeks
These leeks, poached gently in an aromatic liquor, make a delicious dish on their own, or try them with fish or roast chicken
Put the vegetables in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins or until the vegetables are very tender, then drain.
Leave the vegetables to steam dry in a colander for a few mins, then return to the pan. Add the milk, butter and nutmeg, then season. Crush the vegetables to a chunky mash and serve.
