Ingredients
- 2 large leeks
- 240 ml vegetable stock
- 480 g Philadelphia cream cheese
- 200 g grated cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- salt & pepper
- cherry tomatoes halved optional
Kitchen Gadgets:
- Instant Pot
- Steamer basket
Instructions
- Slice your leeks into medium slices and then wash your leeks. Add 240ml of vegetable stock and load steamer basket into your instant pot inner pot. Add the leeks to the steamer basket and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Place the lid on your instant pot pressure cooker, set the valve to sealing and cook for 0 minutes with a quick pressure release. After releasing pressure, remove the steamer basket with your just cooked leeks.
- Add the Philadelphia to the veggie stock and stir with a wooden spoon until it thickens into a white creamy sauce.
- Add the grated cheese and it will melt as you stir.
- Then transfer the leeks to a serving dish, add the cheese sauce over and then sprinkle with extra salt, pepper, and parsley before adding the sliced cherry tomatoes.
Notes
- Quantities. I find that 1 large leek per person is the ideal serving size. You can also do a big batch of leeks and freeze them for later.
- Cheeses. It totally personal choice of what cheeses you use. I love Philadelphia but you might have a favourite own brand. I also love to use the 50% reduced fat mature cheddar cheese from Tesco.
