"This is a quick, easy, tasty combination. Serve as a side dish with sausages, a roast, with eggs or even BBQ. I like my veggies still crisp but if you want them soft cook leeks longer"

  1. Bergy, I thought I reviewed this a long time ago but maybe not. This was a fast and flavorful side dish that we enjoy whenever I find Leeks on sale. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Just OK. Nothing special. I know that I used good ingredients and it felt pretty bland.
     
  3. I'm not going to put a bad rating for my personal tastes, that's for sure, because this recipe had 2 of my favorite veggies (mushrooms and onions) cooked in my new favorite way. LOL! The dry oregano perfected the flavor and I added about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Now, for the leeks...ha! First time leek tasting for me and my uncle will be the proud new owner of 1/2 bunch of leeks. ;) I just didn't like them, personally. Thanks, Bergy, for the delightful recipe and the chance to try a new veggie. :D
     
  4. I found this to be pretty bland, so I mixed some seasoned bread crumbs in it (about 1 cup), put it in a casserole dish, sprinkled some grueyere cheese on top and baked it for about 15 minutes.
     
  5. I'll definitely make this recipe again, but thought it was just a little bland ... but my husband, who loves both mushrooms and leeks, absolutely adored it. He was delighted that the flavor of the leeks stood out, instead of getting lost in other ingredients. Thanks!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
