Chef’s tips & techniques
- To make the leek oil, heat vegetable oil to 60°C, blend the green part of the leek with the oil, then cool down and use to garnish. Torch the leek for a nice roasted touch and improve presentation.
- “Burn” the shallots slightly for a nicer flavour and better look.
- To give your dish better presentation, use green and white mushrooms, more herbs and a black plate so the sauce and ingredients pop.
- You can replace green leeks with spring onion.
- For a little kick, add a dollop of mustard to the sauce.
- Nutritional tip: You may substitute crème fraiche with low fat cream.
- Chef Mark’s top tip: “Use chicken leg or thigh instead of other cuts like breast for the best taste and texture.”
