Leek recipes

[Guest guest]

Carolyn - here are some more leek recipes from my files:

 

First - from my German cousin:

Traute's Poreesalat (Leek Salad)

 

2-3 leeks

1 jar grated celery root salad**, drained

4 hard boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

2 apples, grated

1 cup. mayonaisse, regular or fat free

1 cup fat free plain yogurt

1 or 2 cans mandarin oranges, drained

 

 

Slice the white and pale green parts of the leeks into very thin

rings. (Save the darker green parts for another recipe.) Stir in

next 5 ingredients. Gently stir in the oranges, taking care not to

break them too much.

 

**If you can't get the celery root salad, substitute 1-2 cups of

grated kohlrabi, jicama, or thinly sliced celery stalks.

Welsh Glamorganshire 'Sausages' - Selsig Morgannwg

Serves 4

5oz (150g) fresh breadcrumbs, plus 3 - 4oz (75-100g) for coating

1 small leek, finely chopped

3oz (75g) Caerphilly cheese, grated

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

pinch of dry mustard

3 eggs milk for binding (optional)

flour for coating

oil for frying

 

1. Mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, seasonings and

mustard.

2. Beat together 2 eggs and 1 yolk and use this to bind the mixture,

adding a little milk if the mixture is too dry to hold together.

Divide into 12 portions, form into sausage shapes and roll in flour.

3. Beat the remaining egg white until frothy, brush this over the

sausages then coat them in the extra breadcrumbs. Chill for 20

minutes.

4. Fry gently in oil until crisp and golden brown on all sides. Serve

immediately

Leek and Potato Rosti (Swiss hash browns)

2 large potatoes, peeled 1 small leek, washed

 

Grate the potatoes and mince the leek, and mix together with a bit of

salt and pepper if desired. Divide into four. Fry over gentle heat

shaped into a disc in a metal pastry cutter. Turn once to cook both

sides.
