30g extra virgin olive oil
30g butter
150g leeks (white parts only) or onion, cut in rounds
1 clove garlic
700g courgettes, peeled and chopped
700g water or milk
Salt
Pepper
Nutmeg
6 quesitos (little cheeses in triangles wrapped in foil such as Dairylea)
Chopped parsley or chives

Method

Put the oil, butter, leeks and garlic in the bowl 8 seconds / Speed 5.
[Scrape down the bowl] 12 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 1.
Add the remaining ingredients, except for the quesitos 20 minutes / 100° / Speed 1 (if using milk set at 90°).
Allow to cool a little 40 seconds / Speed 7.
If necessary, repeat the operation.
Add the quesitos 5 minutes / 90° / Speed 5.
Correct seasoning if necessary and serve sprinkled with the parsley or chives.

Chef's notes

I heated the oil and butter 8 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed Spoon, then added the leeks and garlic 20 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed Spoon / Reverse Blade / MC. This was to allow them to caramelise properly. I used 1 bulb of garlic and substituted the cheese triangles with some slices of Caşcaval. I also included some Marigold Swiss bouillon powder, but be sparing with it if you are using a salty cheese.
