Ingredients:

  • 2 wild leeks

Directions:

Grill the wild leeks with salt, pepper and butter, cool and chop into small pieces.  In a medium, non-stick pan on medium heat, melt ¼ ounce of butter and shred potatoes into the pan. Add the leeks and shape into a circle (should look like a pancake), cook on low heat until golden brown on both sides. Reserve for plating.

Top the potato pancake with sour cream then the smoked steelhead roe. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with greens. Drizzle aged sherry vinegar around the edge and garnish plate with boiled egg and pancetta.
