Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • leeks
  • pepper
  • Himalayan pink rock salt

Step 1: Prepare the Leeks

Give your leeks a rinse and grab a sharp knife. Chop off the stalks and get rid of any dark leaves at the end. Add some oil to a pan and heat over medium heat.

Step 2: Pan-Fry the Leeks

Add a little water to the pan, then add the leeks. Add a pinch of Himalayan pink rock salt and leave the leeks to pan dry for about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan, season with a little pepper and a dash more olive olive and salt. Serve in a salad or just enjoy your leeks on their own.
