I love the way the leeks and tomatoes caramelize in this dish. It gives it such a rich and flavorful flavor. I also like to add a bit of goat cheese to the top before serving. It adds a nice tanginess that balances out the sweetness of the tomatoes.

I'm not usually a fan of leeks, but this recipe changed my mind. The leeks were cooked perfectly and had a mild, sweet flavor that paired well with the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this dish again.
