Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

It is not necessary to use fish fillet, ordinary pieces will be fine.

Wash the 2 ²⁄₃ cups fish fillet, remove skin and bones then cut into medium size pieces.

Stage 2 - 20 min.

Wash 6 leeks, and slice thinly.

In a large pan, melt ½ cup butter and add the sliced leeks, and well mix but don't add salt.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cook uncovered 4 - 5 minutes, until leeks are almost cooked, but still a bit crunchy.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Add the fish pieces, mix well and cover.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Leave to cook until fish becomes opaque.

Stage 6 - 10 min.

Add 1 ¾ cup 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.
