Leek and Tomato Casserole
( Back to Cookbook Main Menu | Back to Side Dishes | Back to Vegetable Dishes )

 

This is a recipe that I found many years ago, while living in New Orleans. It's not a creole dish, just one I found back then. I thought that is was very good, and I was looking for a good vegetable side dish about then. I later lost the recipe, and only recently found it again. So I will be make this again soon.


2 large leeks, trimmed, washed, cut in 1" pieces
2 large onions, cut into eighths
1 can (14.5 oz) whole tomatoes
1 tbls parsley, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2/3 cup chicken stock
4 tbls vegetable oil
1 tbls fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp dried thyme

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix well, making sure to break up the tomatoes. Pour into a large oven proof baking dish, preferably glass or cermanic. Cover with lid and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
