Ingredients

3 bunches leeks, cut horizontally. As you cut these place them in cool water for 10 minutes to clean out the sand

1 bag carrots, slice diagonally

1 red onion, chopped

3/4 brown or white rice, cook set aside

2 tomatoes (or 1/2 cup water)

salt and pepper (cayenne or black)

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot over low flame.

Saute onions in the oil, keeping flame low

Add leeks and continue to saute for 5 minutes

Add carrots

Add tomatoes or water (I really prefer the tomatoes)

Simmer with the lid on until the carrots are tender (20-30 minutes). Test with a fork - if it goes thru easily it is ready

Turn off the heat and add the cooked rice. Stir all tog. Serve warm.

PS- Of course leftovers can be served warmed up or cold. the leeks really make this salad delish.

Leeks are so delicious with the tomatoes and carrots
I opted for the cayenne pepper for that extra heat.
You have my 5
