I love leeks too. I grow them but goodness they take a long time to mature.
Anyway, my recipe for this winter is that I indulge myself with the following,
Tools - Large Pot, wooden spoon, ladle, sharp knife, cutting board and tasting spoon.
Method -
2 clean rinsed fillets of fish, generally kingfish or bream diced to about inch squares - Microwave for a short time in a basin with some water until
nearly tender and retain stock.
2 leeks sliced to about 1 half inch pieces.
I small onion diced to small pieces.
Half a celery bunch thinly sliced including leaves.
Diced chilli pepper.
Pinch of black/white pepper, small amount of turmeric to taste. Couple of pinches of crushed sea salt for taste as it boils.
Place vegetables in a pot and cover with water, bring to boil, simmer and add water slowly as the level decreases. Add the pepper, turmeric and sea
salt but only to your specific taste. (Personally can't take veges overcooked in salt).
As the vegetables become tender add the fish and stock. Simmer and top water gently as needed. Serve when satisfied with taste. Goes great with
warm cut buttered French loaf for dipping.
Takes about an hour. 2 days of soup for the family. (Better on the 2nd day) Been loving it this winter here.
Kind regards,
Bally
