Method
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan set over a medium heat. Leave to cool a little, then roughly chop and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the leeks and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the wine and water, or apple juice, and 1 tbsp dill. Season well and cover.
- Cook for a further 15-20 minutes, until the leeks are tender and glazed (very little liquid should remain in the pan). To serve, transfer to a serving dish and scatter over the remaining dill and the chopped hazelnuts.
