  • Prep time: 10 mins

  • Cooking time: 20 mins

  • Serves: 4

Ingredients

Use a bunch of spring onions instead of leeks.

  • 75g (3oz) butter
  • 4 medium leeks, finely sliced
  • 200g (7oz) kale
  • 800g (1¾ lb) floury potatoes e.g. King Edward, peeled
  • 150ml (¼ pt) semi-skimmed milk

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the leeks and turn over in the butter. Add a tbsp of water and season to taste.
  2. Let the leeks sweat for about 5 mins over a medium heat, stirring from time to time, then add the kale. Stir everything around, add another tbsp of water and cover.
  3. Leave to sweat for a further 10 mins until both vegetables are soft and buttery. You might need to add a little more water half way through.
  4. Meanwhile cook the potatoes in boiling water until just tender while the greens are sweating. Heat the milk, drain the potatoes then gradually add the milk to the potatoes and mash until smooth.
  5. Finally add the kale and leeks to the mashed potatoes, season well and mash everything together. Serve immediately.
