Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.
Remove to a salad bowl.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 10 min.
If you haven't already done so, cook the semolina by pouring it into the same volume of boiling salted water, or by following the instructions on the packet.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.
Pour the semolina over the leeks and stir.
Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 min.
Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.
Place a circle, slightly smaller in diameter than the size of your frying pan, on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet.
Pour the mixture into the circle, and smooth with a tablespoon to form a patty about 1.5-2 cm (0.8 inches) thick.
Remove the circle.
Note: If you have a little time, place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour. Once hardened, the galette will be very easy to manipulate and place in the frying pan.

Remarks
The proportions are very approximate, about half and half semolina and leeks, so feel free to adapt to what you have on hand.
Once formed, the patties freeze well before pan-frying.
