Has anyone got a nice summer recipe involving leeks?

[A580Hojas]

Just that. Am lacking inspiration!

Glamorgan sausages with salad.

Or delia does a bacon and leek pasta bake we have fairly often utmost sure it’s that summery.

Risotto, use the leeks to start then add wine and other green veg, stir through some goats cheese

Vichyssoise is one of my favourites it's a chilled leak and potato soup with cream and some chives.

My mum used to make a leek dish where leeks and cream cheese were put between 2 puff pastry layers. It was lovely.

This is lovely.

This pho with crispy leeks is delicious with lots of wonderful bright flavours.

Creamy leeky chicken is a fave in our house.
brown off chunks of chicken thigh, sling in some chopped leeks and colour them a bit, add some garlic and seasoning. Chuck in some chicken stock and poach the chicken and leeks, when reduced sufficiently stir through some cream and a little splash of lemon juice. I serve it with veg and rice usually.

Quiche

almost anything that you put onions in

This Leek, pancetta, ricotta and lemon tart

I do a Caerphilly tart - essentially a quiche but with leeks and (obvs) Caerphilly rather than onions and bacon.

Higgety Pie?

This is prob so boring but we just had it for dinner and it was epic

cut leeks into big chunks in baking tray

add lump of butter and a halved head of garlic

put a chicken on top of leeks and roast

serve roast chicken and soft buttery garlic leeks..

I love leeks cooked in stock with peas and a dash of cream accompanying either white fish or chicken. Or you could do it in a chicken and tarragon pie? Or you could have it lengthways and BBQ it?

5 o'clock apron does a really nice kind of flamiche recipe using leeks, it's so good that even my ultra fussy 7yo eats it!

Butternut squash and leek cannelloni, it's a Simon Rimmer recipe but I can't find his, this one seems the same. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Turkey and leek burgers -

fry your leeks first with butter and dried tarragon, and a little bit of mustard. Mix with turkey mince, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper, divide, roll into balls, squash into patties and fry/grill/bbq. We put them in brioche buns with garlic mayo and sweet potato fries

You lot are making me hungry now! Some lovely ideas, I will have to try them.

This oven baked smoked haddock and leek risotto is a family favourite in our house.

I love this leek quiche recipe from a blog I follow. I've made it numerous times.

Puff pastry tart with softened leeks cooked in butter, goats cheese and pine nuts. Very easy.

Leeks are also good in frittata

Vichyssoise and the old fashioned, but good, leeks vinaigrette.

Leeks à la Greque
A salad or side dish.
You need fairly slim leeks for this, but not the baby ones. Clean them then cut in half into approx six inch lengths
boil some water in a shallow pan that will take all the leeks in one or two layers, (enough to just about cover the leeks) and when boiling put in about three to four tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of a lemon , salt, a couple of pinches of sugar and about half a tablespoon of roughly crushed coriander seeds.
Add the leeks and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes until they've softened, spooning the liquid over the leeks so they don't dry out.
The liquid should thicken to form a sauce/dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice, oil, salt or sugar to your taste.
Cool and serve at room temperature.
For a variation add a tablespoon of tomato puree at the start of cooking.
