Ingredients
3-4 leeks, chopped into 5mm thick rounds
dill, several sprigs, chopped
300g beans, trimmed and cut into 30mm pieces
olive oil
fine sea salt
Method
Saute leeks in olive oil and salt on medium to high heat until some pieces are crispy or caramelized. (about 5 minutes). Add dill and beans to the leeks and stir for 2 more minutes, enough to brighten the color of beans and soften the raw taste. Turn out onto a bowl and serve immediately. (What makes this dish special is the cooked leeks.)
If you want to plan ahead, blanche the beans in boiling water and set aside. Reduce the stir fry time to just over one minute.
