Ingredients

Panna cotta

2 cups (500 ml) leeks, thinly sliced (about 1 leek)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) 10% cream
2 cups (500 ml) packed chopped lettuce
2 teaspoons (10 ml) gelatin
2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
Salt and pepper

15 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) flat-leaf parsley
12-16 toasted bread croutons
Salt and pepper

Preparation

Panna cotta

In a saucepan, soften the leeks in the oil until tender. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lettuce and cook for about 2 minutes.
In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a blender, purée the lettuce mixture until smooth. Strain. Add the gelatin, stirring with a whisk until completely dissolved. Season with salt and pepper.
Lightly oil four 125 ml (1/2 cup) jam jars or ramekins. Divide the panna cotta mixture among the jars. Cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

Topping

In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, shallots, lime juice, oil and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Run a knife around the edge of the ramekin to unmould the panna cotta. Scatter the topping over the panna cotta letting it fall slightly over. Top with croutons.
