Step by step recipe

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

Wash the 1 1⁄3 cup fish fillet, remove skin and bones then cut into medium size pieces.
Stage 2 - 20 min.
Nicholas's fish
Wash 3 leeks, and slice thinly.

In a large pan, melt cup + 3 tablespoons butter and add the sliced leeks, and well mix but don't add salt.
Stage 3 - 5 min.
Nicholas's fish
Cook uncovered 4 - 5 minutes, until leeks are almost cooked, but still a bit crunchy.
Stage 4 - 1 min.
Nicholas's fish
Add the fish pieces, mix well and cover.
Stage 5 - 10 min.
Nicholas's fish
Leave to cook until fish becomes opaque.
Stage 6 - 10 min.
Nicholas's fish
Add 1 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.
