Leeks
Long Description to add
Serves 4 as a main courseCarrot and Leek Soup
Using the best of winter's root vegetables, this hearty soup is packed with nutritional goodness and will make a good lunch or supper for one.
Serves 2Bacon, Leek and Potato Omelette
A bit like a British version of tortilla, this filling omelette is made with potatoes and bacon as well as eggs, offering a nutritious option for a cheap lunch or supper.
Serves 2Hot Smoked Salmon with Leeks and Mustard
A luxurious combination, this one, and easy as pie: an indulgent supper dish for two with the mustard cutting through the richness of the salmon.
Serves 4Leek and Butternut Squash Soup
Low-fat, full of flavour, easy to make and suitable for freezing: there really is every reason to make this superb velvety, almost fat-free soup on a winter's day. It's bound to become a favourite immediately!
Serves 6 as a starter or 4 as a main courseOven-baked Smoked Pancetta and Leek Risotto
If you're put off making risotto because of all that stirring, help is at hand: this lovely oven-baked combination f rice, leeks and pancetta sits happily in the oven and is just as good as the classic version.
Serves 4Sautéed Leeks
It's hard to believe that such a quick recipe could produce such a delicious result, but it does!
Serves 4Penne with Leeks and Bacon
A moveable feast, you can use a variety of vegetables here - in summer, courgettes are good, or onions. Leave out the bacon for a vegetarian version...
Serves 2Chicken and Leek Pot Pie
This is what I call comfort food - the kind of thing to make on a cold, grey winter's day. You can vary the vegetables if you like (I quite like it with mushrooms replacing half the leeks).
Serves 6 as a starter or 4 as a main courseLeek and Goats' Cheese Tart
This is what I call a wobbly tart – creamy and soft-centred. Leeks and goats' cheese have turned out to be a wonderful combination, and the addition of goats' cheese to the pastry gives it a nice edge.
Serves 2 generouslySouffled Macaroni Cheese
I've made many a macaroni cheese in my time, but this, I promise you, is the best ever. To make this for 4 people, just double the ingredients and use a 10 x 8 x 2 inch (25.5 x 20 x 5 cm) dish, increasing the cooking time by 3-5 minutes.
