Preparation method
- To make the compote, slice one leek into rings as thinly as possible. Rinse in plenty of cold water.
- Mix with the sugar and orange juice and boil the compote on a medium heat until cooked.
- Once most of the liquid has evaporated and the leek is cooked, you can finely blend the leek in the food processor if desired.
- To make the cannelloni, cut the white part of the leek in half and blanch the green part in salted water.
- Place a piece of plastic film on the work surface.
- Place the leek slices on the film so that they overlap one another to form a neat rectangle.
- Divide the compote over the leek slices and roll them up tightly to form cannelloni.
Serving suggestions
- As part of a cold starter or amuse-bouche.
- Ideal as a vegetarian component.
