Very good! I did cook my carrots for about ten minutes first, before adding anything, as DH likes them very tender, I then drained them and continued as directed. We loved these! Sweet without being too sweet, and the flavours compliment each other well. Will definitely make this again, thanks, Jackie!

I had never cooked leeks before and was trying to find a recipe that my family would like. This recipe was a hit! It was easy to make and very good. I will definately make this recipe again.

A tasty and colorful veggie side dish. I made no changes to the recipe and was perfectly happy with it. It's a great way to use the sometimes forgotton leeks. Loved the bit of sweetness. Thanx for sharing!
