Ahhh, crab legs. Nothing quite says the sea like tearing up legs off a poor old crab. It has been blooming ages since I have done anything with crab, and figured this would be a rather quick meal. To be honest, this one was more down to Danika - we were in Whole Foods today, and saw some completely brilliant looking crab legs on sale, and she convinced me into doing crab tonight, when I had my heart set on some petrale sole. The sole can wait for another night, these things were bloody awesome.

OK - lesson learnt on this one. Bad food presentation = bad photograph. I flooded the plates with the puree. It tasted amazing, but looked, er, pretty bad. This obviously limits the photographs you can do - you don’t want to show a moat of puree! In future I would put down just enough puree to seat the vegetables in.. Oh well.

A pretty darn simple, yet tasty weeknight meal. Leeks are a great winter vegetable for me. They seem rich, but aren’t really, and when slowly cooked mellow out quite a bit and are fantastic with a simple butter/herb sauce like this one.

This one is kinda bastardized from a Jamie Oliver recipe, from his “Jamie’s Kitchen” cookbook. I must have cooked this a dozen times, and each time I do something a little different, depending on what I have in the cupboards.
