It's All About Leeks!
{WARNING: If you hate tarragon (and you know who you are!) don't read any further.}
Leeks are one of my favorite fall foods. Whether it's a creamy (that is, with nonfat plain organic yogurt) leek soup or just a regular dish seasoned with some fresh leeks, the flavor of leeks say fall to me.
I bought some HUGE leeks today at the grocery store. For lunch, I made a very subtle tarragon leek stew.
Ingredients:
A huge leek
A lot of dried tarragon
Tarragon white wine vinegar
Dash half salt
Quorn tenders
Eggwhites to punch up the protein, but they blend right in and you don't really notice them.
Two teaspoons olive oil.
200 something g cauliflower, added at the last minute so they wouldn't overcook.
I love leeks. And fall. And crisp, cool weather.
Now... what to make for dinner?

Longtime lurker, chiming in now to profess my admiration for leeks, as well! I usually just cut them up and saute them in olive oil with garlic. Delicious. I'll try this stew, though; it sounds great.
