Sauce
  • 300ml veal jus
  • Knob of butter
  • Splash of sherry vinegar
  • 2 tbsp rowan jelly
For the leeks
  • 600g leeks
  • 100g butter
  • 200g fresh brioche, cubed

  • 200ml double cream
  • few sprigs thyme, leaves picked

Cavolo Nero
  • knob of butter

Method

Heat a BBQ until hot and the coals are white.

Pop the leeks into a pan with a knob of butter and cook until soft.

Cut the brioche into cube, place in an ovenproof dish and bake for a few minutes until crisp.

Top with the cooked leeks, cream, thyme and cheese and roast for 10 minutes. To make the sauce, heat the stock and boil to reduce by half. Finish with the butter, vinegar and jelly. Cook the shredded cavolo nero in the butter and water until just wilted.
