Ingredients

  • 2 leeks, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4 T almonds, blanched
  • 3 slices white bread, soaked in La Motte Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1 cucumber, peeled

Method

Sauté chopped leeks, onions and garlic in a pan over a low heat until translucent, then chill.

Place the leek mixture, the blanched almonds and the slices white bread soaked in La Motte Sauvignon Blanc (squeeze out the wine) in a blender.
