Method:
Put the beetroot into a saucepan with the skins on and cover with cold water. Bring this up to the boil, and cook until tender. Strain the beets then cover with cold drinking water. With the back of a pairing knife, scrape the skin off and top and tail the beets. Cut into wedges and put aside.
Cut the carrots into 5cm long strips. Cut the broccoli into separate floralettes . Find a pot big enough to hold both the broccoli and carrot, fill with 10cm of water and bring this to the boil. Steam the Broccoli and the carrot for 3-4 mins. Strain the vegies, then cover with cold drinking water to stop the cooking process. Strain again and put aside.
Slice the onion finely.
For the dressing
Cut the tops off the leeks, leaving 5-10cm of green above the white part. Slice the leeks and half length ways. Wash thoroughly between the leaves leaving the plant intact. Slice into 1cm wide semicircles.
Peel and chop the garlic finely.
Fry off the garlic and the leeks on a low flame with a lid on, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10 mins.
