This recipe, known as mouclade in France, is traditionally made with shallots, white wine and cream but we’ve added leeks and, instead of wine, a dry cider. Lots of crusty French bread is essential for mopping up all the juices.
We’ve got a similar recipe for mouclade from Rick Stein, too.

Cider works just as well with this wonderful dish as in it. However, if it’s wine you want, go for a juicy, lively South African Chenin Blanc.
