Baked baby leeks
with
mixed veggies
Baked baby leeks are an amazing and quick vegetarian recipe of baked tender leeks, mushrooms, tomatoes, green beans. It can serve both as a satisfying starter or main course. I came across the idea of this healthy and tasty vegetarian recipe while looking through "Annette Kesler's" book "Fresh and Healthy".
My wife loves to eat healthily and this vegetarian recipe was right up her alley way. So additional benefit of being very delicious we'll definitely let me get back to
this recipe in the future on more than one occasion. We added to the leeks a combination of some of our favorite fruit, vegetables and herbs and I am sure that there are many more tasty combinations you can come up with.
