Guest guest Posted December 30, 2000 Report Share Posted December 30, 2000 I made the leek soup in that book and it was terrific. I forget what it was called. I like leeks a lot. Here is another great leek recipe: I absolutely loved this one. Served it to guests. HORSERADISH CREAMED LEEKS Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. the white and pale green part of 4 leeks (about 1 pound), trimmed, left whole, and each leek slit down one side to within 1 inch of the base 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup chicken broth 1/3 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon drained bottled horseradish, or to taste 3 tablespoons grated Gruyère In a large bowl of cold water fan out the leaves of the leaks and rinse them well until there is no grit. In a large skillet heat the butter over moderate heat until the foam begins to subside, add the leeks, patted dry, and toss them to coat them with the butter. Add the broth and the cream, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the leeks are very tender. Transfer the leeks with a slotted spatula to a gratin dish. Stir the horseradish into the liquid remaining in the skillet and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the leeks, sprinkle it with Gruyère, and broil the leeks under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is golden. Serves 2. Gourmet March 1990 ( gerrit@... ) from West Chesterfield, NH on 10/02/00 I loved this dish as well. I added more broth and cream. A Cook from Malibu, CA on 05/27/00 Delicious flavor. I also needed more cream and broth in the cooking. The leeks were a little tough - next time I am going to use smaller, younger leeks equal to a pound. Very easy to make. Kara and Josh ( jnk@... ) from Easton, MD on 03/11/00 Delicious! I also found I needed to add a bit more of both the broth and the cream in equal amounts. joan ( anais56@... ) from Newton, MA on 08/31/99 Really yummy. Husband and I both loved it. Would be very good with Prime rib or grilled steaks. A Cook from Sheridan, WY on 02/10/99 My husband and I LOVED this recipe. It was extremely easy, quick and delicious. I learned it may be neccessary to add more cream and broth while simmering the leeks as the sauce does tend to boil off a bit. Add both in equal amounts of course. The sauce and Gruyere add a full and rich flavor to the tender leeks. This recipe has quickly become one of my favorites and I love to prepare it for guests. a leek? > Is a leek like an onion?
