Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 leek
  • 1.5 tbsp butter
  • 0.5 tsp dried sage
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 20 sage leaves roughly chopped
  • 0.5 tbsp white sesame
  • 0.5 tbsp black sesame
  • 90 g crusty bread I used a small wholemeal sourdough loaf (around 3 slices of mine)
  • 25 g hard cheese finely grated. I used a vegetarian pecorino
  • 0.5 tbsp dijon mustard mixed with 3tbsp water

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 180'C Fan
  • To prepare your leek, trim off the hard green at the end, wash thoroughly and these can be frozen to be used in stocks/soups. Finely slice the remaining part of the leek
  • Sauté leek in butter, along with the dried sage and nutmeg
  • As they start to soften, add your sage leaves, and season with a pinch of salt
  • In a separate pan, toast your sesame seeds on a low heat for around 5 mins
  • Blitz your bread through a food processor until breadcrumb consistency, then toast these in 1tbsp of olive oil until golden
  • Mix the breadcrumbs, sesame, and leek mixture in a bowl and allow to cool completely
  • Once cooled, add in the grated cheese and the mustard-water mix. Add in around half a tsp of salt, adjust to taste if required
  • Take 1tbsp of mix and and roll into a ball as per the video on my Instagram. Place on an oiled oven tray
  • Bake for 13-15mins or until golden, on the middle rack. Allow to cool for several minutes before handling
