ingredients
- 5 large leeks
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 6 extra-large eggs
directions
- Rinse the leeks well, discard the green part, then cut them into rings 1/2 inch thick. Place the pieces in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse carefully under cold running water.
- Heat 3 Tablespoons of the olive oil in a pan. When it is warm, add the leeks, season with salt and pepper and saute for about 30 minutes, until soft. Transfer the leeks to a bowl and allow them to cook for 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Add the cooked leeks and mix thoroughly.
- Place a large omelet pan over medium heat with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the leek-egg mixture. When eggs are well set and the frittata is well detached from the bottom of the pan, put a place, face down, over the pan. Holding the plate firmly, reverse the pan and turn the frittata out.
- Return the pan to the flame. Carefully slide the frittata onto the pan to cook the other side. After 2 minutes, reverse the frittata onto a service dish.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
