Almond Leek Au Gratin
Even those who do not like leek in our family enjoyed this dish immensely. So, go ahead and give it a try. You can serve it as an appetizer (starter) or as a side for meat dishes. Most first-timers will not be able to say what it?s made out of.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg. leek
- 1 glass of water
- 1 coffee cup grated cheese
- 1 chicken boullion tablet
- 100 gr. finely chopped almonds (unsalted)
- 2 coffee cups of flour
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 300 ml. milk
- Almond slivers (to sprinkle over the top)
How to:
Cut the leeks into thin slices. Melt the chicken boullion in water and cook the leeks until they absorb all the stock and are well cooked. With a fork, mash until no visible slices remain.
Add 100 gr. chopped almonds and the grated cheese. Stir.
In a pan, melt the butter, add the flour and cookwell. Add salt and 300 gr milk. Stir well until you get a smooth sauce béchamel (white sauce). Stir in the leek mixture. Beat an egg and brush the bottom of an oven-proof dish with it. Pour in the leek mixture, sprinkle over the top with the remaining cheese and almond slivers.
Bake in a 175°C oven until golden.
Enjoy!
