Leeks with potatoes

Commonly known as the “asparagus of the poor”. Leeks cooked sous-vide at a low temperature are a recipe worthy of any restaurant and cuisine. The texture, the colour and the flavour of this vegetable is highlighted with the simple touch of a vinaigrette and just the right amount of salt.

Cooking them sous-vide, we maintain the structure of the leek. In addition, once cooked sous-vide, they will keep better, as the conservation time is multiplied by three.
