Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 1
It is not necessary to use fish fillet, ordinary pieces will be fine.

Wash the 300 g fish fillet, remove skin and bones then cut into medium size pieces.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 20 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 2
Wash 3 leeks, and slice thinly.

In a large pan, melt 40 g butter and add the sliced leeks, and well mix but don't add salt.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 3
Cook uncovered 4 - 5 minutes, until leeks are almost cooked, but still a bit crunchy.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 4
Add the fish pieces, mix well and cover.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 5
Leave to cook until fish becomes opaque.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 6
Add 200 ml cream, salt and pepper, then thicken the cream over a low heat for a few minutes.

It's ready.
Remarks
Adding cream is optional, but Nicholas loves it and it's smoother with it.

You can add other vegetables, but I think that leeks are essential.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
