I always wonder what to cook with leek, it is somehow not in my routine to use this veggie and I want to do it more, since it it one of the few ones in season in the cold months. I came across this Greek recipe on DimitrasDishes ans I really liked it: prasorizo.
Prasorizo
Servings: 6-6
Preparation and cooking time: 1 hour
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
- one onion
- two garlic cloves
- 6-7 leeks
- two cups of rice
- salt
- pepper
- lemon juice
- olive oil
- dill (optional, I skipped it)
Directions
- Saute the onion with garlic on low fire in olive oil until it gets glossy.
- Cut the edible part of the leek, usually under the leaves.
- Chop them finely and then add them into a bowl of water and let the sand settle at the bottom.
- Take the leek carefully from the water and place it into a strainer.
- Add the chopped leek in the pot and let them soften for 10 min.
- Add the washed rice with 6 cups of water, salt, pepper and cook on low fire for 20 min with the lid on.
- Squeeze lemon juice at the end and it is ready.
- In my version I put at the end some duck confit… works so well, if you have it.
