Another beginner leek video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njMtD7Hnlb8<br /><br />Also leek is very lean, it is the sauce and cheese that go with it that makes it heavier. You can have leeks with just oïl and vinegar like a salad, lighter cream and curry...etc.Aghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237448319020197215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-31066856634393480102015-07-10T02:07:22.409-04:002015-07-10T02:07:22.409-04:00Chef John- I've made a bunch of your recipes b...Chef John- I've made a bunch of your recipes but this was my first encounter with cooking leeks and I came away with a few questions. My leeks were a bit fibrous and pretty hard to cut after cooking, even with a steak knife - does that mean I should've cooked it longer or perhaps removed outer layers of leek before cooking? Though it did seem like it wasn't just the outer layers that were still a bit fibrous and hard to cut as they slid all over my plate-ha! I also found this to be extremely rich and my husband and I could only eat 1/2 leek each, though I did serve it with a small portion of pork loin. Should I have expected that with it being a gratin (hello,heavy cream!? Will other applications with leeks tend to be rich as well or is it considered a lighter type vegetable? Just haven't had any experience with them and didn't want to pass judgment too soon without asking. Thanks for the info!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361304297266367995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-4685500064071881202014-11-30T21:56:37.445-05:002014-11-30T21:56:37.445-05:00Hi Chef John, I made this for a Thanksgiving party...Hi Chef John, I made this for a Thanksgiving party on the weekend (a first for me down under!)

I ain't the same, Chef. My finicky lady-friend,lord bless her heart, done straightened me up, cleared me of my drinkin' rum and all. I think about that sandwich now and again.
