In a large pot, boil 5 cups of water, and remove from the heat.

Step 8

Add broccoli florets and let them sit in the boiled water for 4-6 minutes stirring frequently.

Step 9

Transfer the boiled broccoli to the colander and wash them with cold water. Pat them dry with the kitchen towel and chop them into small pieces.

Step 10

Separate the green part of the leeks, chop the white part vertically in the middle, and chop it into small pieces.

Step 11

Clean the leeks with loads of water very well and set them to sit in the colander until ready to use.

Step 12

In the skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil, add chopped onions, and sauté for 1 minute.

Step 18

Use a medium sized cookie/biscuit cutter and place it on a prepared baking tray.

Scoop a 2 tbsp mixture into the cutter and gently flatten it with a spoon. Repeat the same process until you finish the entire mixture.

Step 20

You can shape the medallions into a round shape with your hands. Brush some oil on the medallions.
