Leeks with Greens

Directions

1. 1
   Slice the leeks finely and give them a good rinse to get rid of any grit.
2. 2
   Heat the butter in a large frying pan or wide saucepan and add the leeks with a pinch of salt.
3. 3
   Let them cook gently for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan occasionally, until wilted and tender.
4. 4
   Meanwhile, trim and coarsely shred the cabbage, greens, or kale.
5. 5
   Cook lightly - in either a steamer or a large saucepan of salted water - for 3 to 4 minutes, until wilted and tender but not too soft.
6. 6
   Remove from the heat immediately, drain well, and let the excess moisture steam off for a minute or so.
7. 7
   Then add to the pan of buttery leeks, along with some more seasoning, and stir over a low heat for about a minute until thoroughly combined.
8. 8
   Serve right away.
