What everyday recipes work well with leeks instead of onions?

Answer 1

Liver and Bacon with leeks and leek gravy

Answer 2

Try layering leeks with sliced potato and bacon, covering with milk, dot with butter (or spread), season to taste and bake in the oven, Mark 4-5 until soft and brown on the top. Check that potatoes are cooked through - this will vary depending on the variety.

Answer 3

Just use leeks instead of onions in anything.

Answer 4

Liver....fry the liver for about 30 secs either side - remove from pan and and then cut into as thin a slice as you can ( frying it first helps) - put the thin slices back in the pan and fry - but not too long. Put chopped leeks into the pan and place liver on the top of these so they will steem. When all done pour over a tin of oxtail soup.....mmmmm.

Answer 5

This isn't 'instead of onions' but leeks baked in cheese sauce makes a very tasty alternative to cauliflower cheese - especially if you don't like cauliflower! I often do this with a roast chicken dinner.
