## Instructions

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Trim the green tops and roots of the leeks. Score and peel the leaves carefully to avoid tearing.

4. Lay a leek leaf flat, place a spoonful of filling at one end, fold into a triangle, and continue folding along the leaf.
5. Arrange the stuffed leek triangles in a baking dish.
6. Whisk together all sauce ingredients: 2 tbsp soy sauce; 2 tbsp maple or date syrup; juice of 1 lemon; 1 tsp salt; 1 tsp black pepper; 3 tbsp olive oil; 1 cup water.
7. Preheat oven to 200°C on turbo mode.
8. Pour the sauce over the leeks, cover with damp parchment paper and foil, and bake for 75 minutes.
9. Increase oven temperature to 220°C, remove the cover, add more water if needed, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden.
