Chucky Mama Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 You could sweat them in a bit of butter and add some cream or creme fraiche and some Martini - yummy as a side dish. We also always add some leeks to mac and cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 We love leeks here too. Put it in stews or just with any other veg plus the soup is delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Trim them,blanche them,wrap them in ham,smother in cheese sauce & bake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Slice them, fry them until softened. Make up a cheese sauce whilst they're softening. Add tuna to the leeks, then add the cheese sauce. Serve with pasta - conchigli, farfalle or fusilli by preference. Bet the sauce is ready before the water's boiled and the pasta's cooked.

Lavenders_Blue Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Leek and goats cheese tart Make (or buy!) a pastry case. Sweat onion, garlic and leeks. Add some herbs if you fancy. Tip into pastry case. Add blobs of goats cheese. Top up with milk/cream with an egg or two beaten in. Bung in oven until cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Slice and stir fry in sesame oil. Or chop and saute with quartered mushrooms until soft, chuck in a small pot of creme fraiche and a big splash of good quality soy sauce. Add black pepper to taste and serve with rice.

Happy chickens! Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Leeks are lovely in stew instead of onions, or ditto for pasta sauces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Of course, you could also get some caerphilly and use with your leeks to make up some Glamorgan sausages.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
