3 medium zucchini (courgettes), cubed
3/4 cup (90g/8 oz) peas
20 snow peas (mangetout), sliced
100 ml (3 1/2 fl oz) cream
250 g (8 oz) butter
extra butter for sauteing
1 small leek, sliced
1/2 tablespoon each of chopped thyme, chives
basil, chervil and tarragon
salt

Instructions

Blanch the vegetables (except leek) in boiling water and refresh under cold water. Drain and set aside.
Reduce the cream until it is thickened a little. Whisk in the butter. Set aside.
Heat a little butter in a pan. Lightly saute the leek and then the blanched vegetables. Reduce the heat and add the cream/butter sauce.
Sprinkle generously with chopped herbs.
Season to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

Wine: If enjoying this as a side dish, choose a wine to match the main course. To eat solo, try the rich, rounded flavours of chardonnay.
