And here’s the thing about season’s eatings: these vegetables haven’t changed … but you have. If you try to recreate the magic of past experiences beat for beat, you’ll often be disappointed or bored. But throw in a new twist and you’re going to have a good time.Alice Zaslavsky’s greengrocer’s pie – recipe, slinging the sweetness of sprouts into mashed potatoes.
Because the leek is sliced into thick rounds, it’s even more important to ensure the grit between the layers has been diligently disappeared. If yours are extra sandy, slice lengthwise through to the middle to open up the layers, then spray with cold water. Once sliced, a good five-minute soak and spin in the salad spinner should do the trick. If you’re buying leeks from the supermarket, you’ll find they’re quite girthy, so two should do it.
While the leeks are cooking, preheat the oven to 210C/190C fan. Slice the brussels sprouts into 1cm rounds and pick the tarragon leaves.
