So sorry I'm late with this review...I donb't usually cook with leeks so I think I may have been a bit apprehensive about making this..but this was lovely, the chorizo really adds a lovely spiciness to the dish and it's a great simple side to make, very different from anything I've made before. Thanks!

Very easy and totally delicious! :)Great blend of flavours. Love leeks: love garlic! And this dish is so very leeky and garlicky, that I just had to try it! I'm sure that for those who love chorizo sausage they would be great in this dish but they are just too hot for our taste so I used some sliced chicken and chive sausages but otherwise made this exactly to the recipe using my Recipe #135453 for the stock. A recipe I know we'll enjoy again and again: thanks so much for sharing it, Noo! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
