Instructions

1

Pull the leaves form the rosemary stalks. Finely chop the leaves. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Mix the milk and cream together in a bowl or jug and stir in the garlic, leftover dried thyme and wholegrain mustard. Season with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Keep to one side.

2

When the potatoes are cooked and drained, pop them on top of the leeks in the ovenproof dish. Pour the flavoured cream and milk all over and bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden on top, 15-20 mins. Give the potato pan a quick wash, we will use it for the carrots.

3

Pull the tarragon leaves from the stalks an roughly chop. Discard the stalks. Remove the tops from the chantenay carrots (no need to peel) and pop into a saucepan. Pour in enough water to cover the carrots and add the chicken stock pot. Boil on high heat until tender, 15-17 mins. Drain when cooked but reserve three tablespoons of the stock. Return to the pan with the stock and stir in the butter and the tarragon.

4

Pop a chicken leg on each plate and spoon a generous amount of leek and potato gratin alongside. Share the carrot out and drizzle on the buttery sauce. Bon appetit!
