An easy and tasty side dish with a winter vegetable: creamy leeks, relatives of onions with a more delicate taste.
On the blog with leeks, you can find a LEEK CREAM

With leeks, you can also make a delicious fry by slicing the white part very thinly, flouring these thin stems, and then quickly frying them in seed oil at 340°F… DELICIOUS!!!! You can also use them to garnish a slice of meat or a creamy first course…,

FOR THE PREPARATION OF CREAMY LEEKS RECIPE
First, you need to clean the vegetable well, removing the root part of the leeks and the upper green part.
I wash well and then slice the leeks lengthwise and start cooking this side dish.
In a saucepan, I put the butter, and when it’s melted, I add the sliced leeks.
Let it flavor, then add the water where I dissolved the jelly broth, and continue cooking for 10/12 minutes, adjusting with salt and pepper over moderate heat.
Remove from heat and add the cream.
Adjust the seasoning and bring to the table.
If the creamy leeks side dish is a bit liquid, you can sprinkle with a tablespoon of flour, and after a few minutes, the dish is ready to accompany the meals.
Enjoy your meal!

With this side dish, I prepared a savory pie with a puff pastry shell, leek cream, salmon cubes, and then in the oven for about 40 minutes at 355°F static oven.
