Instructions

Step 1

Wash and clean the leeks. Remove the tougher dark green leaves. If they are big cut into two and cut in half lengthwise, keeping part of the root intact so they don’t break apart (remove the very end).

Step 2

Heat up olive oil in a pan and add the leeks facing down, turn to cook on the other side, then turn again and season with salt and pepper. Add vegetable broth mixed with miso paste and white wine. Bring to a boil, then to a simmer and cover with baking paper and cook until the liquid has reduced and the leeks are tender.

Step 3

In the meantime blend tofu with almonds, lemon juice, tahini salt pepper and chives.

Step 4

Spread the cream on a plate, add the leeks and garnish with toasted almonds and chives.
