adapted from "River Cottage Veg" by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Ingredients

  • 3 small leeks well cleaned and sliced, white and light green part only
  • 4 medium carrots sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
  • 3 celery stalks sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seed oil
  • a few sprigs of fresh thyme and parsley
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 2 oz. dry white wine
  • 7 cups of boiling water

Instructions

  • In a large sauce pan heat oil over medium heat and add all the vegetables, herbs and peppercorns. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
