Leek Au Gratin - Purjolöksgratäng

LEEK AU GRATIN
Purjolöksgratäng

Leek is good for gratins. You can use the whole leek, also the rough green part that is rich and delicious in taste. The white part is more tender. Ham and tomatoes make this gratin a whole meal.

Serves 4

3 leeks, approx 1 lb
5½ oz smoked ham
2 tomatoes
butter or margarine
0.4 cup cream, 15% fat or the like
0.4 cup tomato paste
0.4 cup ripe, grated cheese


Trim and rinse the leek and cut it in rather large pieces. Boil until tender in lightly salted water, take up and drain. Dice the ham and slice the tomatoes.

Put the leek in the bottom of a greased, oven-proof pan. Divide ham and tomatoes on top and pour on the cream, mixed with tomato paste. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in the oven at 480F for about 15 minutes.

Serve with bread, butter and a tossed salad.

Enjoy!
