Ingredients

2 whole garlic heads, with outer layers of skin removed

4 large leeks, cleaned and chopped (the white and tender green parts)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 1/2 cups dry white wine

6 large potatoes, scrubbed and cubed

6 cups vegetable broth

1/2 teaspoon saffron (optional)

1 bay leaf

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 cups shitake mushrooms, chopped

Directions

Bake garlic heads for an hour, uncovered in an oven preheated to 350° F.

Cool, peel or squeeze the garlic cloves into a small bowl, mash into a puree.

In a stock pot, sauté leeks and mushrooms in olive oil until tender, add wine, continue cooking until reduced to 1/3.

Add potatoes, stock, garlic purée, saffron, bay leaf, thyme and a few grindings of black or white pepper.

Stir, simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are tender.

Top with fresh parsley.

Delicious with crusty peasant bread and a chilled Sauvignon Blanc.

Very nice. You can almost taste this dish by just reading the recipe. One of my cooking mottos is "you can never have too much garlic."
