Ingredients

6 medium leeks, well cleaned and thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

hot red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

6 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded

1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated rolled pie crusts (2 crusts)

2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped

Directions

In large skillet, saute leeks in oil 5 minutes.

Add garlic and saute 1 minute or until leeks are tender.

Remove skillet from heat. Stir in red bell pepper, mustard, basil and red pepper flakes (if using.)

Cool.

Stir in cheese and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll pie crusts according to package directions.

On lightly floured surface, roll one pie crust into a 12 inch circle.

Transfer to baking sheet.

Spoon half the prepared filling into center of pie crust and spread leaving a 1 1/2 inch border all around.

Fold the border up and over the filling, pleating as necessary.

Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon walnuts.

Repeat with second crust.

(At this point, tarts may be covered and chilled up to 4 hours before baking)

Cool 10 minutes.

Cut each tart into 12 wedges.

Just printed this one out. I adore Leeks and this is going on the menu for Fathers Day.
'Iechyd da' .... Welsh for CHEERS!!! :-)
Seeing as the Leek is the national Veg of Wales I thought it was appropriate.

To Dee:

A country has a national vegetable? I might be wrong but I don't think Canada does. I must invetigate that. Anyways, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the compliments....and since my father's parents were born in Wales, loving leeks must be genetic.
