This is one of those recipes that you might easily dismiss as boring or difficult to make, but I’d like to challenge you on that because this recipe is very fast and easy to make if you like doing 1-pot dishes. There’s barely any thinking involved at all, grab a glass of wine and just go for it!

A few extra tips:
- Use the whole leek for this recipe, yes even the bottom.
- Don’t skimp on herbs, that’s where the majority of the flavour will come from.
- Make a big batch and keep it on standby for a quick dinner or freeze it as a backup meal.
