I've never had leeks!
I keep reading about them in anime and manga, but never have had any.
So I did a steamed leek thingy tonight w/ olive oil/mustard sauce over rice.
It's YUMMY!!!
Also really healthy!

My boyfriend and I are leek fans; we have them fairly regularly in all sorts of dishes - and we adore leek and potato soup :D

Leeks, spinach and bacon are great together. Cook the bacon crisp, drain. Cook leeks in fat till tender. Mix with spinach and crumble bacon over top. Great with a vinaigrette.

Bacon is a nogo.
Thinly sliced and grilled tofu will work just as well, I'm certain.
I'm definitely a fan of leeks again:D

Tofu is great in just about anything.

I love this receipe
Chop the leek thinly and cook in boiling water for about 5 mins. Drain and wash in cold water. Take swiss brown musrooms, remove the stalk. Put the leeks, stalk, garlic cloves (to taste) pepper to taste and blend. Mix with a blue vein cheese, I use Stilton but depends what's available. You want to create a rich cheese and vegie mixture (50/50) texture. Place the mix liberally into the mushroom cups. Put under a hot grill until it bubbles. Enjoy
Makes a great starter to a dinner party

Yes there is something about leeks and a sharp chees that really works together.

BTW I made an ice cold tomato soup with stilton slices floating on it that was to die for.
Mmmm and it's Dinner time
