It’s a very good thing to have a dish of lemony leeks in the larder. They go well with salads and in sandwiches, or simply on their own, as a meze or as an accompaniment to some bigger dish.

Ingredients

  • leeks 1kg/2lb
  • carrots 2-3
  • olive oil<

Method

  • Trim the leeks, split in two lengthways, wash out the soil from the leafy end, and split again across the grain.
  • Put them at the bottom of a saucepan with a generous coating of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Wash, peel and slice the carrots diagonally, ¼ inch thick,
