Does anyone know the recipe for the Leek with sauce that you get on a carvery sometimes?

Nicci_A

I can't think what the sauce is. If you know I would really appreciate it, my husband was going on about it last night and I wanted to suprise him with it on our dinner today. :)
Sorry, I think it was like mild cheese.

Answer
Leek in Cream Sauce as a side dish to fish or poultry

6 stalks leeks
2 stripes of lemon rind
60 g butter
2 tbsp flour
3 tbsp cream
80 g breadcrumbs
2 bay leaves
some nutmeg, freshly grated
some ground pepper
some cooking twine

Method
Preheat the to 200°C.

Wash the leeks thoroughly to remove sand or soil. Cut each stalk into 4 equal size pieces, cut each piece lengthways twice. Tie into bunches.

Place the leeks in a pot with boiling water, add the lemon rind and bayleaves. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Drain off but reserve the cooking liquids.

Make a roux, using 30g of the butter,melt this in a saucepan, add flour and cook for 1 minute (a roux can be used to thicken any sauce).

Pour about 375-400ml of the cooking liquid into the roux stirring al the time. Season the sauce with pepper and nutmeg.

Place the leeks in a oven-proof dish and cover with the sauce.Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan until it starts to bubble up, add the breadcrumbs and brown all over.

Sprinkle the crumb/butter mixture over the dish. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the twine and serve immediately.

Note: If leek is not available then this dish also tastes good using spring onions. If margarine is used instead of butter then this dish would be suitable for vegan diets Serves 4

Leeks in Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:

* 4 large leeks
* 450 ml milk
* 110 g grated cheddar cheese, divided
* 25 g flour
* 25 g unsalted butter
* 1 bay leaf
* 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Directions:

Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 50 mins

1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
2. Cut the root-ends from the leeks, and cut them in 5 cm (2 inch) pieces, keeping only the white parts and the tender green inner parts; wash well in water.
3. Place the leeks in boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes; drain well, then arrange in a baking dish (I use a 1 1/2 liter size that is 14 1/2 cm square).
4. As your leeks are simmering, put the milk, flour, butter, and bay leaf in a saucepan, and mix well.
5. Bring to the boil, whisking continuously; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
6. Add garlic powder, salt, mustard powder and nutmeg, then 3/4 of the grated cheese, whisking until it is completely melted.
7. Remove the bayleaf, then pour the cheese sauce over the leeks.
8. Top with remaining cheddar, and bake 20-30 minutes, until golden.
9. If possible, let stand 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese sauce to further"set" and to avoid burning your mouth.Servings:4
