This is a modern Welsh recipe for St David's day. An accompaniment of leeks baked in a mix of vegetable stock and milk with three Welsh cheeses.

This recipe is sufficient for two as a supper dish or for four as an accompaniment.

Ingredients:

400g leeks, washed and dried
300g vegetable stock
milk, to make the stock back up to 300ml
25g butter
25g plain flour
40g mature Welsh Cheddar cheese
40g Caerphilly cheese
40g Y Fenni cheese
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
4 tbsp fresh white breadcrumbs
2 large tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges

Method:

Cut each leek into three equal-sized pieces before arranging them in the base of a saucepan. Pour over the stock, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes, or until the leeks are soft.

Pour the stock from the leeks into a measuring jug, then make up to 300ml with milk. Dry the leeks thoroughly, then arrange in a single layer in the base of a shallow baking dish.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, before scattering over the flour and mixing in well to combine as a paste. Add the stock and milk mix, whisking with a fork until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil then work in 3/4 of each cheese. Season to taste with black pepper (there is no need to add salt, as the cheeses are salty).

Pour the resultant sauce over the leeks then arrange the tomato wedges evenly on top. Mix the remaining cheese with the breadcrumbs and scatter over the top of the dish.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top of the dish is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Serve immediately to accompany chicken or fish.
