Delicious Creamed Leeks – an easy recipe....
I have always loved leeks but usually I have them chopped up in soups. A few months ago I discovered a recipe for creamed leeks and thought I would give it a whirl. The result is that now my husband and I are eating them 2-3 times a week. We have become creamed leek addicts!
It is a wonderful side dish that works especially well with chicken. I have also used them as a topping for veggie burgers and have spread them liberally over mashed potatoes.
Do try to use organically grown leeks if you can.
