LEEKS WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE
The lowly leek, which resembles a scallion on steroids, is a national emblem of Wales. Did you know that on March 1, St. David's Day, patriotic Welsh and those of Welsh descent wear a leek on their clothing? (I'm guessing not a REAL one but a pin??) Also, it is tradition that soldiers in the Welsh regiments eat a raw leek on St David's Day. Posted for ZWT II.

Steps:
- Clean the leeks using your tried & true method or trim off the root end and about 1/4 inch of the white base. Remove any ragged, coarse outer leaves and discard. Trim each of the darkest portion of the leaves down to the light green, more tender portion, leaving about 2 inches of green. Slice the leeks down the center and rinse under cold running water to remove all dirt and sand, being careful to get in between the leaves. Drain on paper towels and proceed with recipe.
- Cut leeks in half lengthwise then cut into thin half moon slices. Place in a colander & rinse again. (leeks seem to be sand magnets).
- Melt butter in a saucepan or large frying pan. Add leeks, wine, salt & garlic. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add chicken stock & continue cooking until leeks are soft, another 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat & stir in the creme fraiche, parsley, lemon juice & Tabasco.

LEEKS AND CARROTS IN CHARDONNAY CREAM SAUCE
I came up with this on my own. I was inspired by a couple different leek recipes on. My touch is the rosemary, wine and bacon. Turned out delicious and thought I'd share. Delicious side dish.

Steps:
- Using bacon drippings, sauté leeks, carrots and rosemary until leeks are opaque. About 15 minute.
- Deglaze pan with half of the wine and simmer until reduced and cooked into the leeks(about 10 minutes).
- Add the cream and simmer, covered, until leeks and carrots are tender.
- Add the remaining wine and bacon that had been set aside and simmer until reduced to desired consistency and tenderness.
- This takes me about 20 minutes as we like our leeks really tender, but the carrots turn out al-dente.
- **NOTE: If you prefer carrots that are softer, then parboil them prior to sautéing.
- The timing is an estimate as I really wasn't planning on posting this, but after we ate it I figured it deserved a place on here :-). ENJOY!

LEEKS WITH CHARDONNAY AND CREME FRAICHE
An easy and elegant side dish that stands out. Think leeks can only be an ingredient? Try this recipe tonight and see that they can be the star! A great alternative to the usual potatoes or rice, and goes especially well with seafood. I also suggest you use white pepper instead of black if you have it.
