Overview:
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4 people
Ingredients:
4 leeks, washed, trimmed & cut into 5cm pieces
3 ribs of celery, washed, trimmed & cut into 2.5cm pieces
6 potatoes, peeled & cut into wedges
4 carrots, peeled & cut into long pieces
60ml olive oil
2 small tomatoes, crushed
Salt & pepper, to taste
Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
Put a large pot over a medium heat and add a bit of your oil.
Add the leeks and celery, and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the potatoes and carrots. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring often.
Add the leeks and celery, and stir. Add the crushed tomatoes, seasoning, 250ml of water, and the rest of the oil. Cover and bring to a simmer.
Cook for around 30 minutes or until the veg is all cooked. Make sure the veg has just enough water to cook (you don’t want too much liquid in the pot), and try not to stir the mixture or the veg will break apart.
When the veg has finished cooking, remove the pot from the heat, drizzle a little oil on top, and you can even add some lemon juice before serving.
Storage tips
Once cool, put in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to two days.
