I enjoy leeks but don't make cook then as much as I probably should ! However, this recipe gives me the kick in the . . . to have them on my table more often! Easy-to-make & with the wine, bacon & bay leaves, we had a VERY, VERY NICE TASTING SIDE DISH! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed while touring New Zealand on ZWT5]
