Original Recipe

Cynhwysion:

2 gennin, eu pennau wedi torri
50g o fenyn
200ml o hufen dwbwl
halen a phupur du, at ddant

Dull:

Holltwch y cennin yn hanner lawr eu cannol gan eu golchi i gael gwared o unrhyw bridd. Torrwch y cennin yn ddarnau tua 2cm sgwar. Toddwch y menyn mewn padell fawr, cyn ychwanegu'r darnau cennin a'u troi dros wres uchel i'w cotio yn y menyn. Ffriwch yn ofalus nes eu bod wedi cynhesu drywodd, neu nes eu bod prin wedi gwywo. Ychwanegwch yr hufen a throwch y gymysgedd i gyfuno. Dewch a'r cyfan i fudferwi cyn gostwng y gwres (cadwch yr hufen yn ffrwtian ond nid yn berwi). Gadewch i goginio (heb gaead) nes fod y saws wedi twchu. Blaswch gyda halen a phupur du cyn droi'r gymysgedd i ddesgil wedi eu gynhesu a'i weini. Mae'r risèt yma'n draddodiadol iawn ac mae'n gweithio cyn gysted gyda physgod ac y mae gyda chig oen.

Ingredients:

2 leeks, tops neatly trimmed
50g (1/4 cup) butter
200ml (4/5 cup) double cream
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Split the leeks neatly down the middle then wash thoroughly to remove any grit. Cut the leeks into pieces about 2cm (3/4 in) square.

Melt the butter in a large pan, add the leek pieces and stir over high heat to coat in the butter. Fry gently until heated through, or until just wilted.

Add the cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat (keep the cream bubbling but not boiling). Continue cooking, uncovered, until the sauce thickens to your liking.

Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground black pepper, turn into a warmed dish and serve.

This creamed leek dish is very traditional and works just as well with fish as it does with lamb.
