Translation
Another recipe for leeks: If they have been boiled in water, add a large quantity of unseasoned broad (fava) beans to the condiment in which you will eat them.
Ingredients:
4 leeks, trimmed
16 (or more) white cabbage leaves
4 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp red wine
2 tsp fish sauce (Nam Pla), or to taste
black pepper, to taste
200g cooked or raw broad (fava) beans
Method:
Add the leeks to a pan, cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). Drain and allow to cool then slice the leeks and add to a serving bowl. Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together then add to the leeks along with the broad beans and toss to combine. Season with black pepper and serve. (You can also add herbs to the dressing, if desired.)
