Step by step recipe

1	Prepare 400 g leek and cut into chunks diagonally. Set aside.
2	Prepare 400 g broccoli. Set aside.
3	Use a steamer pan or, as shown here, put a little water in a deep pan and stand a dessert ring in the bottom.
4	When the water boils, sit the basket of vegetables over the water to steam. Salt the vegetables, then cover and leave to cook for about 5 minutes.
5	Meanwhile, finely chop 2 hard-boiled eggs. Set aside.
6	Melt 50 g butter in a small pan.
7	Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, salt lightly and pepper to taste, then add 1 tablespoon French mustard and mix in.
8	Check the vegetables: they should be tender, but still nice and green. Drain thoroughly.
9	Serve the vegetables plated up, topped with the "à la flamande" sauce.

Remarks

If you don't like mustard, you can use lemon juice or vinegar instead.
Of course, if you possess a steam oven, use this to cook the vegetables as you would normally.
