Do you know any good no-meat leek recipes?

I have a huge leek and would like to make something that uses it as the main ingredient; however, I have these restrictions and preferences:





-I don鈥檛 eat meat


-I don鈥檛 want to make latkes or other patties that must be fried


-I鈥檝e made leek soup and leek quiche in the past few months, so I prefer to not make either one again





I鈥檓 also pregnant, so the healthier the recipe, the better!





Thanks.Do you know any good no-meat leek recipes?
Leek in a salad would be great. Use green leaf lettuce, celery, radishes (if you can stomach them right now), tomatoes, and cucumber slices.





You can also make a leek stew without meat. Lentils are the best beens to use with leek, although any of the other beans would provide the protein you need. Throw in some corn, red cabbage, potatoes and okra. That would be really good.Do you know any good no-meat leek recipes?

Maybe you should stop buying leeks for a while. I think you've exhausted all the usual recipes. Why not just chop it up into mac and cheese or throw it in the frying pan with whatever you are making?
