Step by step recipe
1 | Prepare 4 leeks, but keep the white part whole (don't split or chop them) then slice them about 2 cm or 1 inch thick.
Cut on the diagonal as this looks nicer (see photo). | |
2 | Steam the leeks in a pressure cooker for five minutes, counting from when it starts to hiss. | |
3 | The idea is to have leeks which ar only just cooked and which keep as much of their colour as possible. | |
4 | Shell 2 hard-boiled eggs and chop finely once cold. | |
5 | Chop the parsley. | |
6 | Mix 150 ml French dressing (vinaigrette) with the chopped eggs and herbs. | |
7 | Serve the sliced leeks, preferably warm, with the vinaigrette dressing poured over. | |
Remarks
For a richer dressing, use 2 yolks to one egg white instead of whole eggs.
You can vary the herbs using any you choose, not just the usual parsley.
