Leek fondue
Leek fondue (literally "melted") consists of finely sliced leeks cooked until barely tender then simmered gently in cream until thickened.
The aim is to keep the fresh green of the just-cooked leeks but with a lovely soft, melting consistency.
This can be a side dish or an ingredient in lots of different recipes.

Remarks
As stated above, we are aiming above all for a creamy, soft fondue, but with an attractive and appetising fresh green colour. This means we need to cook very finely sliced leeks as rapidly as possible, and not salt at the outset to avoid them giving off water.
Keeping
A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film. Freezes very well.
