Slice leeks in half lengthwise. Cut leaves crosswise to 5mm thickness. Heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a frying pan.

When piping hot add prepared leeks and sauté, taking care not to overcook. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add a knob of butter and remove from heat.
