Clean the leek and cut it into finger-thick rings. Place it in a pot and cover it completely with water. Season with salt and sugar, and add a little margarine. Cook everything for 15 minutes. Drain the leek and reserve the water. Melt the butter in a pot and make a light roux with the flour. Now pour in the leek water until a creamy sauce forms. Season the sauce with nutmeg (or salt if desired). Add the leek to the sauce and stir. This is delicious with boiled or skin-on potatoes.
