Answer 2

Leek and potato is one in all my all-time wide-unfold soups! It takes approximately between 0.5 an hour and an hour to make and tastes basically amazing. To my recommendations, it needs to be thick and velvety, not a skinny, recommend broth with some bits floating in it. right this is the way you're making my version. it is going to feed 4 as a starter or 2 with some superb bread as a lunch. 2-3 super leeks (or a pair greater in case you like leek) 2 cloves of garlic 3 super potatoes (floury is terrific ... not salad potatoes) a million sprig rosemary a pinch of dried chilli a million.5 litres (3 pints) vegetable or fowl inventory (the terrific you will locate or abode-made) a splash cream or butter Wash the leeks o.k. and slice. Peel the garlic and the potatoes. cut back them into chunks and place each thing right into a huge pan. upload the rosemary and chilli. Pour over the inventory, clap on a lid and positioned across to the boil. while it bubbles, turn down the warmth and go away to simmer till the leek and potatoes are very delicate.

Answer 3

Leek and cheese white sauce for boiled corn beef. Boil Corn Beef 30 min first 500 grams 20 min every 500 gram there after or to own taste. I like my Corn beef cooked so it slids off fork easily when put into it.
Wash leeks thoroughly by soaking and when preparing look for dirt between top of leek layers. Cut into even slices thick or thin your choice. Cover with water bring to boil add butter/margarine, salt, pepper and small amount of hot mustard to taste. Lower heat to a simmer add milk to double amount in saucepan then add 4-6 Kraft, No name cheese slices and mix about 1.5 dessertspoons of corn flour with milk and add to saucepan, mixing the mixture constantly so as to stop lumps forming. Lower heat so mixture is just making slow bubbles. You can add chopped parsley if you want.
This is also a good base for Leek and Potatoe Soup, use more water add cream instead of milk, cheese is optional as is thickening.
Chilli Leek Summer Salad, blanch leeks until tender, saute quickly with a little oil and fresh garlic remove from heat. Allow to cool/chill add sweet chilli sauce and coriander to finish. lovely with fish.
