Leek Onion Brussels Sprouts Quichepie Recipes

LEEK, ONION, BRUSSELS SPROUTS QUICHE/PIE

Steps:

• Combine the first 8 ingredients in a pan and saute gently until the onions and leeks begin to soften.
• Take off the heat and let cool.
• Cut your cream cheese into small blocks and stir well into the leek mixture.
• Add the grated cheese, cream (if using), eggs, salt and pepper and mix well.
• Scoop into an unbaked pie shell and cook for 40 minutes at 180 C (350 F).
• I got one extra (smaller pie) simply by adding another leek, onion more sprouts to my main mixture. I can't get pie crusts ready made here so used 4Susan's Basic pastry recipe #148258 which makes one larger pie and one smaller one (as shown in my additional photographs).

BRUSSELS SPROUT LATKES

Steps:

• For the balsamic Dijon sour cream: Stir together the sour cream, mustard, honey, vinegar and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the latkes: Whisk together the egg whites and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts, onion and garlic and stir to combine. Stir in the flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, some black pepper and a few pinches of red pepper flakes.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Scoop an eighth of the mixture (about 1/2 cup) into the skillet and use a spatula to pat it out into a flat pancake, about 1/2-inch thick. Cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Remove to the paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve with the balsamic Dijon sour cream and lemon wedges on the side.

RIGATONI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, PARMESAN, LEMON, AND LEEK

Steps:

• Trim brussels sprouts with a paring knife, then snap off several dark outer leaves from each; set aside. Cut sprouts into quarters (or halve if very small). Starting at root end, cut half of leek into 1/2"-thick rings, then chop remaining leek.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add brussels sprout quarters and leek rings; season with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned all over and tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Set aside a little lemon zest for serving and add remaining zest along with chopped leek, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until garlic and leek are golden, about 4 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until skillet is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until very al dente, 8-10 minutes; drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to skillet along with reserved brussels sprout leaves, brussels sprout quarters and leek rings, and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid; toss to combine. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add 2 oz. Parmesan, tossing constantly. Cook, shaking skillet to toss pasta and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and glossy, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with more Parmesan and pepper and reserved lemon zest; drizzle with oil. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

BUTTERY SAGE & ONION SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a large frying pan and soften the onions over a low heat for about 15 mins until really soft - but don't let it brown. Add most of the sage. Meanwhile, cook the sprouts in a pan of boiling water for about 4 mins, add the peas and cook for 1 min more until just tender.
• Drain, reserving a splash of the water, then add the sprouts and peas to the onions, along with the rest of the butter, stirring well so that all the veg gets coated in the butter. Add the reserved cooking water if it looks a bit dry.
• Season with lots of black pepper and some salt. Serve with the reserved sage on top.
