  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Place 50g butter and 50ml olive oil in an ovenproof frypan over medium heat. When butter has melted, add 3 cloves sliced garlic, 3 sprigs thyme and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1min or until garlic is soft. Saut artichoke slices (in batches) for 1-2mins, tossing well. Return sauted artichoke to pan, season with salt and place in oven. Roast for 8-10mins or until cooked.

  2. Meanwhile, lightly salt cut ends of leeks. Place 2 teaspoons oil in a saut pan over medium-high heat and add leeks. Cook for 4-5mins, turning, sealing to a golden brown. Remove to a plate. Pour 2 tablespoons oil in hot pan, add 3 cloves sliced garlic and 4 sprigs thyme and cook for 1-2mins. Add 200ml stock, leeks and a pinch of salt. Cover with lid, bring to a boil then simmer for 15-20mins or until leeks are soft but hold their shape. Set aside.
