Ingredients

1 leek (approx. 300g)
1 teaspoon honey
200 ml white wine
Salt and pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Clean and wash a large stick of leek and cut the white and light green into 3-5 parts. Cut the tender parts of the darker green into narrow strips.
Put everything in a saucepan and cook with 200 ml of wine and 1 teaspoon of honey on low to medium heat.
Carefully lift the cooked larger pieces of leek out of the pot and place on a plate, drain the chopped greens and sprinkle over the pieces of leek.
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
As a figure-friendly main course for 1 person, as a side dish for 2 servings, as a starter for 4 people (simply divide the leek into 4 pieces).
Bought leek in a 1 kg package for a recipe and left a stick again? - Then this is the ideal recipe for that one leftover stick of leek!
Great for the tight student wallet (less than 50 cents if you are not picky about wine), suitable for ww, easy and quick.
