Is there any quick and easy recipe with leek?

Answer 1

Leek and Potato Soup
1 bunch leeks, white part only, cleaned and chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup strong broth of your choice (or stock cubes)
1 litre milk
Salt and pepper
Place veg in a pot and add liquids. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft (about 20 min.). Blend until smooth.
You can also leave the soup unblended, and use all stock instead of adding milk.

Leek Omelet
1 leek, white part only, cleaned and finely chopped
2-3 eggs, beaten
Dried dill
Salt and pepper.
Sauté leek in a small amount of olive oil until it starts to colour. Add leek to beaten egg, mix well, and pour into frying pan. Season. Cook until omelet is set; turn and finish cooking.

Answer 2

Cheese and leek quiche. Buy ready made shortcrust pastry, roll out to fit a quiche dish and bake it empty for about 10 minutes to stop the bottom going soggy. Fry leek in butter with a finely chopped onion and make up a packet of cheese sauce. Fill quiche case with leek mixture, cover with cheese sauce and bake until golden - absolutely gorgeous, and you can eat it hot or cold

Answer 3

For quickness, par boil the leek and then put it in an oven dish, while the leek is par boiling add some pancetta and garlic to a separate pan with a smidge of olive oil, when the pancetta is crispy add it on top of the leek then add loads of chedder chease and bake in oven for around 20 - 30 mins depending on gas/leccy heat (personally hate leccy) its bubbles and melts and enjoy

Serve with a green salad, yum!!!

Answer 4

Lots but a real quick and easy one would be:
Fry garlic and chopped onion in butter or oil (or combination of the two) until softened. Add sliced leek and continue to cook until softened. Meanwhile, put a pot of pasta on to boil (tagliatelle is good but any will be ok). Once pasta cooked, drain. Add a good glug of cream and black pepper to the leek, mix together and add to the pasta. Serve with grated parmesan on the top.
Voila.

Answer 5

Chop leeks up and place in a shallow dish with cream, salt, pepper and top with grated parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. Delicious!

Bake a potato in the oven. When it is cooked scoop out the insides and mash. Mix it with grated cheese, cooked pieces of bacon, and steamed leeks. Mix together, put back into potato skins and bake in oven for 10 minutes.
