Braised Leek and Peas

This is really simple side dish, that goes nice with meat or chicken.

80ml (1/3 cup) Home made basic stock

80ml (1/3 cup) thin cream (optional dairy tolerated)

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes or until slightly golden.

Add the peas and stock (and cream if using). Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until sauce thickens.
