Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6
Boil a full kettle
Cut the leek[s] in half lengthways and wash carefully to remove any grit from between the leaves
Slice the leek[s] finely, discarding the tough tops, outer leaves and root end[s]
Peel and slice the brown onion[s]
2
Heat a medium-sized pot over a low heat with a drizzle of olive oil
Once hot, add the sliced leek and onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 min or until softened
3
Meanwhile, tear the mini baguette rolls into small bite-sized pieces
Add the baguette pieces to a baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden and crisp – these are your croutons

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Dissolve the vegetable stock cube[s]in 800ml [1.4L]boiled water
5
Once the leek and onion has softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add the vegetable stock and cook for 5 min
6
Meanwhile, strip the mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly
Crumble the feta
7
After the 5 min, add the pea shoots and most of the chopped mint (save some for garnish!)
