When a few weeks ago Tesco asked me if I wanted to participate in a festive food swap challenge I was over the moon. This initiative is meant to inspire people to experience new flavours, with a range of products from across the world available in store.
I love food and cooking so this was right up my street.
In exchange for one of my favourite Italian Christmas recipes – I chose Panettone – I received the Welsh Christmas recipe for creamed leeks from Welsh mummy blogger Heledd Harman (Running in lavender).
Creamed leeks are ideal as a side dish to meat or fish as well as a standalone sauce. I decided to use it as a sauce for plain cod. The result was excellent. It is generally the perfect accompaniment for the least savoury fish of all. I also make a good guess that Creamed leeks would make a great sauce for any pasta dish.
I recommend you to try this super easy recipe which I am glad I have learnt and will make again in future in many different variations.
