For my [Ingredient], my Soul: Leeks recipe, I decided on this one from Jamie Oliver. It seemed easy, didn’t include many ingredients, or dishes, or time, or…you get the idea.
Here are my beautiful leeks. They are soaking, because they are very, very dirty.
This is after they were good and soaked. I gave them like twenty minutes in the sink.
Aren’t they beautiful?
Aren’t they lovely? I had some fun with this…
So here are the ingredients. In the order that I put them in my bowl. Beans.
Garlic.
Heavy cream.
White wine.
Steamed leeks.
Fresh oregano, salt, and pepper.
Mix it all together. Jamie told me to mush some of the beans, but I didn’t because it grossed me out, so left them all whole. I couldn’t tell if I was supposed to put the fish in the bowl, so I didn’t do that, either.
Here’s the fish. I couldn’t find sea bass, but I read on the Internet that you could substitute cod, so I did. I don’t know if that is true, but it was delicious.
So you take your fish, and you dump all that goodness on top. Make sure you put the fish on lots of tin foil, because you’re going to fold it into a pouch.
I didn’t do a great job: I dripped everywhere. But I re-tightened after I took this photo, I promise.
So you’re going to get the party (aka fire aka fishy) started by putting the fish on the stove for about a minute, and then put them in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
This is the fish, all done!
I gobbled this up quickly, and had leftovers to spare, and it was absolutely enough for four people! It definitely is a strong smell though (fish?? leeks?? Yes! So I would suggest you maybe don’t bring it to lunch…)
