Leek salad
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Young leeks; up to 5 | |
| Water | ||
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt; (depends on the quantity of water) |
| Lemon juice | ||
| Salad oil | ||
| 1 | Egg | |
Directions
Use only young leeks. After thorough cleaning (of course), cut them in 5-7 cm pieces, (about 2 inches). Use the white part, possibly also the beginning of the green. Cook them in salted boiling water until they are tender but still whole. (Check with a knife).
Take them out of the water and arrange them nicely on a platter. Mix some lemon juice and a little salad oil and pour on the vegetable. Let cool a few hours in the fridge.
Before serving, grate a hard boiled egg and sprinkle it on the leek. Looks a bit exotic and it is very refreshing.
