Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1 large or 2 small leeks, white parts sliced and rinsed of any grit
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup cream

  • grated parmesan and freshly ground black pepper to serve (optional)

Method

  • 2
    Add the chicken stock and simmer for 8-10 minutes, tossing the mixture occasionally to ensure even cooking. Add the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce, then add the baby spinach leaves and cook them until they wilt and become bright green.
