1. Put the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil into a large sauté pan with a lid and place over medium-high heat. Once the butter starts to foam, add the leeks, ½ teaspoon of salt and plenty of pepper. Fry for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the leeks are soft. Add the cumin, lemon and vegetable stock and boil rapidly until most of the stock has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Fold in the spinach and cook for 1 minute, until wilted, then decrease the heat to medium.
