Directions

  1. Halve leek lengthwise and rinse under running water. Separate the layers to remove any sand. Cut each half down the centre and thinly slice.

  2. Place leeks in a pot and add enough water so that leeks float but are not covered. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain off excess water and return leeks to the pot.

  3. Return the pot to the stove and simmer until all excess liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer leeks to a bowl and add egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions.

  4. Heat enough oil in a nonstick skillet to just cover the bottom. Heat on medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Use wet hands to form each portion into a 3-inch patty.

  5. Place the patties into the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.

Recipe Yield

4 leek patties

Recipe Note

Crisp on the outside with a creamy interior. The trick to a crisp exterior is to remove as much moisture from the cooked leeks as possible, so please don't skip the step after draining. Very mildly flavored. Serve with a dipping sauce of choice, if desired.
