Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 10 min.
Stage 2 - 1 min.
Steam the leeks: the best way is to use a steamer basket so they sit just above the water, not in contact with it, and put the pan on high heat.
Stage 3 - 8 min.
Cook uncovered and keep an eye on both their texture and colour - they should stay nice and green and still have a little "bite".
Please note that we don't salt them when steaming.

Melt 30 g butter in a large frying pan on medium heat. When sizzling, add the leeks, salt and pepper and cook in this second stage for just 2 or 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Check the seasoning, then keep hot.

This is best served in individual hot dishes. Arrange a layer of leeks and pour the sabayon over. Finish with a little freshly ground pepper.
Remarks
Of course, if you have jus from another type of mushrooms, this will also work well.
For a more delicate flavour, replace 1/3 of the mushroom jus with the same volume of Vin Jaune - it's superb! (if you like Vin Jaune, that is...).
