Leeks A La Grecque
Ingredients
3 or 4 medium Leeks
1/4 pint Olive Oil
1/2 pint Water
Heaped tablespoon Tomato Concentrate
Heaped teaspoon Sugar
2 oz Rice
12 small Black Olives
Chopped Parsley
Lemon Juice and 3 or 4 slices of lemon
Method
Prepare the leeks in the usual way, cutting them into 1 1/2 inch slices. Bring to the boil in a heavy pan with the water, oil, tomato paste and sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Add the rice. Boil, covered, for another 8 minutes - the liquid should be almost entirely absorbed by the rice. Turn off the heat, but leave the pan covered for another 10 to 15 minutes. The rice should be cooked but firm, in agreeable contrast to the moist leeks. Add lemon juice to taste. Serve chilled, with olives, parsley and lemon slices arranged on top
