Italian Leek Patties 4 leeks, cleaned and cut up Boil the cleaned leeks until they are soft. Drain well and grind them up in a food processor. Set aside. Soak the bread in the milk and also set aside. Now saute the onions in the oil and add the processed leeks. Squeeze the bread dry and add that along with the flour, salt & pepper, and egg. Shape the mixture into balls and fry in hot oil. Don't be afraid to adjust the flour if needed. |
