LEEKS WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE



Leeks With Creamy Wine Sauce image

The lowly leek, which resembles a scallion on steroids, is a national emblem of Wales. Did you know that on March 1, St. David's Day, patriotic Welsh and those of Welsh descent wear a leek on their clothing? (I'm guessing not a REAL one but a pin??) Also, it is tradition that soldiers in the Welsh regiments eat a raw leek on St David's Day. Posted for ZWT II.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter
6 -8 leeks
1/2 cup white wine
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup creme fraiche (make your own from the many recipes here on Zaar)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Clean the leeks using your tried & true method or trim off the root end and about 1/4 inch of the white base. Remove any ragged, coarse outer leaves and discard. Trim each of the darkest portion of the leaves down to the light green, more tender portion, leaving about 2 inches of green. Slice the leeks down the center and rinse under cold running water to remove all dirt and sand, being careful to get in between the leaves. Drain on paper towels and proceed with recipe.
  • Cut leeks in half lengthwise then cut into thin half moon slices. Place in a colander & rinse again. (leeks seem to be sand magnets).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan or large frying pan. Add leeks, wine, salt & garlic. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock & continue cooking until leeks are soft, another 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat & stir in the creme fraiche, parsley, lemon juice & Tabasco.

LEEKS IN CHEESE SAUCE



Leeks in Cheese Sauce image

We eat alot of leeks here in Belgium. This has to be one of my favorite ways to prepare and eat them. The cheese sauce doesn't overpower or mask their flavor, it simply complements it.

Categories     Cheese

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large leeks
450 ml milk
110 g grated cheddar cheese, divided
25 g flour
25 g unsalted butter
1 bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
  • Cut the root-ends from the leeks, and cut them in 5 cm (2 inch) pieces, keeping only the white parts and the tender green inner parts; wash well in water.
  • Place the leeks in boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes; drain well, then arrange in a baking dish (I use a 1 1/2 liter size that is 14 1/2 cm square).
  • As your leeks are simmering, put the milk, flour, butter, and bay leaf in a saucepan, and mix well.
  • Bring to the boil, whisking continuously; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
  • Add garlic powder, salt, mustard powder and nutmeg, then 3/4 of the grated cheese, whisking until it is completely melted.
  • Remove the bayleaf, then pour the cheese sauce over the leeks.
  • Top with remaining cheddar, and bake 20-30 minutes, until golden.
  • If possible, let stand 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese sauce to further"set" and to avoid burning your mouth.
