Cook the leeks in boiling salted water until just tender, but no more. As soon as they are cooked (try one to check), drain them to keep their lovely green colour.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

The leeks need to be drained thoroughy and the best way to do this is in a salad spinner.

Remarks

Thie best leeks for this recipe are the long, thin ones, as they are easier to slice into chunks.

You can steam the leeks, if you prefer, and they will need very little draining.
