We love to eat leeks. Out of all the vegetables, leeks are one of the vegetables that we have every week. Usually, I make leek stew with different ingredients, such as meat, sausages, potato, and barley. But, sometimes, we're in the mood for something different and then I make a casserole.
Actually, this is not really a casserole, but that's the most similar meal description I could find. In Croatian, we call this type of meal "složenac". The rough translation would be "something put together", and actually that is a perfect description. "Složenac" is just that, a meal made by adding a bunch of ingredients and baking them together with cream and eggs. It can be made in any pot or pan.
I like to make leek casserole because it's fairly easy and quickly done. The baking itself may take some time, but the preparation is very quick and easy. I usually make casserole when I don't have lots of time to watch over the pot and stir often. I just mix the ingredients together, and I can work on something else while the pan is in the oven.
To make casserole I first boil the leeks for a few minutes. This step can be skipped, but I like to boil them first so that the leeks don't let out too much water during baking. This is important when leeks are very young and have a lot of water inside. If the leeks are older I sometimes just skip this part and just slice the leeks.
