Slice it finely. Rinse it if it is gritty, this normally at the top where it pushes through the earth.
Fry some bacon, diced finely, in a little olive oil. Add the leeks after a couple of minutes and a dash of water or white wine. Cover tightly and cook until soft over a very low heat, adding a dash more fluid if it starts to dry out. Keep it nice and moist but not 'wet'.
Then add a can of butter beans or some you have cooked.
Season and serve as a side dish to a roast, a grill or a barbecue.
Great with beer, as is anything involving bacon, beans or leeks.
Variation: add cooked cubed potatoes to bulk it out as a main meal.
