Last week, while J-Fur and I were cooking up our leek pie, there was no helmet wearing going on, but there were a lot of leek related festivities. One of which is my recipe of the week:
Potato, Leek and Feta Pie (adapted from Real Simple)
(printable recipe)
(printable recipe)
For the Filling:
-1 Tbsp olive oil
-2 leeks, chopped
-2 small zucchini, chopped
-2/3 cup of Feta Cheese
-2 Tbsp. of dill
-2 red potatoes, sliced thin
-salt and pepper
For the Pie Crust:
I used the Pate Brisee Recipe located here
1. In a large skillet saute the leeks and zucchini until tender. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, feta and dill.
2. Combine leek mixture with potatoes. Toss.
3. Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pie crust (should be about 12 inches in diameter). Move the parchment paper and pie crust to a baking sheet. Leaving a border at the edge of the crust, spoon the potato mixture onto the crust. Fold the edge of the crust over to the edge of the potato mixture.
4. Bake for one hour at 375 degrees.
Also cooking up a leek pie, though not vegetarian like mine, is Australia's Dead Letter Circus in the video for their new single "The Space on the Wall." I have to love a drummer willing to bang with sausage. "Space" comes from their debut, self-titled album, which is out now.
I Am Austin is a band that you may catch wearing leeks on March 1st (the long way of saying that they are Welsh). Here is their first video ever, "Zombie Town," released earlier this year. My love of sausage drumming is topped by only one things, flesh eating reanimators.
The Welsh also have the nicest accents and way of phrasing things! Your recipe couldn't come at a better time because I planted way too many leeks this year! By the way, you're not both, you're a designated driver!

Isn't that the truth.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so unique and I would love to try it but I'll have to check out your link for the crust since I am not good with making crusts from scratch. Your post titles crack me up. It's always something so eccentric and interesting here.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks yummo! Definitely beginning to be the perfect weather for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd HANG ON!!!!
You've been to Machu Picchu? I am totally 100% jealous.
What a great combo in your pie. I love the idea of adding potatoes & feta. Can't wait for more recipes from you.
