Spicy caramelized leeks with fresh lemon from Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over (page 140) by Alison Roman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I feel like I followed the recipe closely but it was so much oil?? Still good just would tweak in the future

    Loved this, could not stop eating. Just writing this now (long after the real date I made these ... I'm just catching up), makes me want to go make some immediately since I have leeks on hand. Yum!

    Supper club side 2/23. We made two versions of this dish, one with the harissa, one without. I only ate the non harissa version which was very good. Both sides were visually stunning.

    I love leeks, and these were tasty, but they were very hard to cut and eat. Not sure I'd make again.

    This is very fun and easy to make (massaging harrissa into the layers!) and you can't stop eating it — even the burnt parts. The diced lemon and sea salt at the end are important. The next day we added the leftover leeks and lemon to a green salad and it was a wonderful addition. I'll double the recipe next time.
