Leek Onion Brussels Sprouts Quichepie Recipes

LEEK, ONION, BRUSSELS SPROUTS QUICHE/PIE

Steps:

• Combine the first 8 ingredients in a pan and saute gently until the onions and leeks begin to soften.
• Take off the heat and let cool.
• Cut your cream cheese into small blocks and stir well into the leek mixture.
• Add the grated cheese, cream (if using), eggs, salt and pepper and mix well.
• Scoop into an unbaked pie shell and cook for 40 minutes at 180 C (350 F).
• I got one extra (smaller pie) simply by adding another leek, onion more sprouts to my main mixture. I can't get pie crusts ready made here so used 4Susan's Basic pastry recipe #148258 which makes one larger pie and one smaller one (as shown in my additional photographs).

CREAMY SPROUT, HAZELNUT & LEEK PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the leeks and sprouts and cook for 10-15 mins or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Stir through the hot stock and crème fraîche.
• Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain and toss with the leeks and sprouts, parmesan, lemon, parsley and hazelnuts, adding a ladleful of the pasta cooking water if needed to loosen. Season to taste and spoon into four bowls.

RIGATONI WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, PARMESAN, LEMON, AND LEEK

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add brussels sprout quarters and leek rings; season with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned all over and tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Set aside a little lemon zest for serving and add remaining zest along with chopped leek, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until garlic and leek are golden, about 4 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until skillet is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until very al dente, 8-10 minutes; drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to skillet along with reserved brussels sprout leaves, brussels sprout quarters and leek rings, and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid; toss to combine. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add 2 oz. Parmesan, tossing constantly. Cook, shaking skillet to toss pasta and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and glossy, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with more Parmesan and pepper and reserved lemon zest; drizzle with oil. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
