Method

  • step 1

    Gently soften the leeks in butter and oil in your largest pan for 15-20 mins until almost meltingly soft. You can soften the leeks up to a day ahead, then just reheat in the pan before continuing the recipe. Stir in the stock, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins. Stir in the peas and spring onions for 3-5 mins more until the peas are defrosted and cooked through, then season and serve.

Beautiful way to eat vegetables. Served with fish pie for guests and it went down very well. I only used butter instead of mixing in olive oil. Had it twice since. It’s now a firm favourite. I agree with the other comment though to use less stock, 200ml was enough for me
