Preparation steps
1.
To make the Hollandaise sauce, melt the butter and skim away the foam. Combine the egg yolks and the wine in a metal bowl and beat over a hot bain-marie until foamy. Remove from the heat, continue to beat for a few minutes and then add half the butter a drop at a time. Add the remaining butter in a thin stream stirring continuously until a creamy, shiny sauce is formed. Season with lemon juice, salt and ground black pepper.
2.
Fry the leeks in the butter and quench with the stock. Cover and simmer on a low heat for around 10 min until the leeks are soft.
3.
Remove the lid and reduce the liquid. Season with salt, ground black pepper and nutmeg.
4.
Transfer the Hollandaise sauce to a bowl and arrange the leeks on top. Serve garnished with parsley and a sprinkling of ground black pepper.
