Leeks in Cheese Sauce
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.
Chilled Potato and Leek Soup – Vichyssoise
Most recipes for chilled potato soup have lots and lots of heavy cream thus fat. This recipe is very simple to put together and very low in fat. As it chills it becomes super thick and creamy. After having tried this both chilled and at room temperature, I highly recommend room temperature. The recipe is from William-Sonoma Essentials of Healthy Cooking.
Creamy Yellow Summer Squash Soup
This recipe comes from “The Classic Zucchini Cookbook”, with only minor additions. It is a quick and easy beginning for elegant dinner memories.
Creamy Parmesan Leeks
I had never eaten leeks until I met my husband, so this is his recipe. It’s nice and quick and easy.
Vegetarian Albanian Leek Casserole (Tave Me Presh)
This is a vegetarian version of a traditional Albanian dish. It makes a tasty side and is delicious served with yogurt, which is commonly eaten in Albanian meals. You can use any mushrooms you want, but the stronger tasting ones are better. Spice to taste, I like more red pepper than the Albanians probably do.
