  1. Blanch the vegetables (except leek) in boiling water and refresh under cold water. Drain and set aside.
  2. Reduce the cream until it is thickened a little. Whisk in the butter. Set aside.

Notes

Wine: If enjoying this as a side dish, choose a wine to match the main course. To eat solo, try the rich, rounded flavours of chardonnay.
