Ingredients

  • 1kg/2¼lb trimmed leeks, cut into thin strips lengthways
  • 120ml/4fl oz olive oil
  • juice of 2 lemons, juiced
  • 4 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and drop in the leek strips. Return to the boil and cook for 3 minutes. Turn and push down the strips with a wooden spoon to keep them submerged. Drain, then dry in a salad spinner or squeeze gently in a tea towel.
