CREAMED LEEKS
Creamed leeks are a great side for roast chicken. Much easier to make than cauliflower cheese, but hitting the same spot.

Steps:
- Cut off roots of the leeks and peel off any withered leaves. Cut off 2 inches from green tops. With a sharp knife slit the green parts in half lengthwise stopping an inch from root end. Make another slit, lengthwise and perpendicular. Spread leaves apart an rinse them under running water, carefully looking out for hidden grit. Cut leeks crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths.
- Heat butter in a saucepan and add the leeks. Toss to combine them with the butter. Add the broth, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until completely tender. You may do the recipe 2 to 3 days in advance up to this point. Over medium heat, evaporate the liquid from the leeks and when they are totally dry add heavy cream, starting with 1/4 cup or so and simmer, stirring continuously until the cream has been absorbed by the leeks. Add 1/4 cup more and repeat if you wish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Make the croutons: Melt 1 tablespoon butter, then mix with the paprika in a bowl. Add the bread cubes and toss. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but about 1 tablespoon fat from the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then add the leeks and garlic; cover and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, 2 cups water, the potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Puree half the soup in a blender (remove the filler cap to let steam escape), then return to the pot. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Add the peas and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with the croutons, bacon and parsley.

Add the leeks and thyme, then sweat everything together for 4-5 mins until soft. Turn the heat up high, add the mussels and cider or wine, then cover and cook for 4-5 mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mussels have opened. Discard any that don't open. Scoop the mussels and the other bits into a dish, then place the pan back on the heat. Boil the juices for 1 min with the rest of the butter, then pour over the mussels and serve with crusty bread.

CREAMED LEEKS
A creamy flavoursome side-dish which allows leeks and onions to really star, but which also includes thyme, nutmeg and black pepper, wine and several different cheeses. I've included feta here as it blends so well with onions and other vegetables in pies and strudels, but if you are not fond of feta, by all means substitute it with something else such as goat's cheese or cream cheese or ricotta. Equally you could use Greek yoghurt instead of the double cream. I love the crunch of nuts in a dish like this, but if that does not appeal, and of course if some of those who'll be eating your dish have nut allergies, leave them out. Like all my recipes, this is an invitation to do with it what you will so that it meets your taste preferences.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and gently sauté the leeks, onions, garlic and thyme for 5-10 minutes or until they have softened. In the last few minutes, add the teaspoon of brown sugar. Pour in the white wine and leave the pan over the heat for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the double cream, season to taste with the black pepper; and simmer gently for 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the leeks and onions to an ovenproof dish and leave to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/355°F/gas 4.
- In a small bowl, combine the cheeses, nutmeg and nuts. If the leeks and onions mixture seems too thick, to be having the cheeses and nuts added to it, add a little more wine, a tiny bit at a time; then add the cheese and nuts mixture to the ovenproof dish containing the leeks and onions; and bake it in the oven for 20-30 minutes. The cheeses and nuts can serve as a topping for the leeks and onions or you can mix the cheeses into the leeks and onions mixture. Go with your preference.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.
