LEEK AND TOMATO GRATIN

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds leeks, preferably slender
1 pound plum tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
Grated Parmesan, optional
Chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350. Trim the leeks of the hard green parts and outer skin, and wash them well. If they're fat, quarter them the long way. Chop the tomatoes and put them in a gratin dish long enough to hold the leeks but narrow enough so that everything is snug. Add the oil and nestle the leeks in there; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake, checking and stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become saucy and the leeks are very, very tender, about an hour. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan and raise the heat until the cheese melts and browns a bit. Otherwise, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot or warm.

MINI LEEK TARTS



Mini Leek Tarts image

I decided to make traditional leek tart in a slightly non traditional way, few mini tarts instead of one, big round tart. I made it that way so my other half would eat it too. He's not much of a veggie guy so I mixed in some ham to his portion. That way I had my vegetarian leek tarts and he had ham and leek ones.
