I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I thought this dish was pretty good. The lemon and shallots helped to brighten up the flavor of the leeks and the crispy shallots on top were a nice touch.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The leeks themselves were cooked perfectly and the shallots were delicious.
