Method

Place the leeks, kohlrabi, carrots, garlic, and herbs into a single layer in a wide shallow pan.

Add enough water to reach 1.5cm up the sides of the pan.

Season with salt and pepper and dot the surface with butter.

Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce heat to the minimum.

Cover tightly and cook gently for about 1 hour until tender, stirring occasionally.

Boil off excess liquid if necessary to leave a few tablespoons of syrupy sauce.

Serve the vegetables warm.
