I had never eaten leeks until I met my husband, so this is his recipe. It's nice and quick and easy.

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the leeks, water and butter in a saucepan with a tightly fitting lid.

These were okay. I had to drain water out of the pan, otherwise the sauce would've been non-existent. I did end up adding a good amount of salt and a healthy splash of hot sauce, as the dish was a bit bland. Serving this on rice really helped. I love onion, but this was really like a big bowl of onion. Glad I tried it, but probably won't make it again.

    Hi Jan, I didn't have any cream on hand so used sour cream and it was great. The flavours blended really well. I will certainly be using this recipe a lot. Thanks for posting, Cheers JenT

    Very delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and served it over white steamed rice to soak up the delicious cheese sauce.
