CREAMY POTATO, CARROT, AND LEEK SOUP



Creamy Potato, Carrot, and Leek Soup image

Ever since a trip to Ireland in 2001 I have wanted to recreate a leek soup I enjoyed in a small village restaurant. This is what I came up with and even my husband thinks I nailed it. My kids will eat this because it is smooth and they are not turned off by any particular ingredient.

SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND LEEK IN PARCHMENT



Salmon, Asparagus, and Leek in Parchment image

Cooking fresh salmon en papillote (that is, in parchment) is a messproof way to coax the most flavor from the fish without adding a lot of oil or butter -- and it's pretty much impossible to dry the salmon out with this cooking method.This recipe is one of our Better Basics: 10 New Takes on Family Favorites, see the others.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 bunch asparagus (about 8 ounces), trimmed and thinly sliced on the bias
1 small leek, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced, washed well, and drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 skinless salmon fillets (each about 5 ounces and 1 inch thick), preferably wild
1/4 cup packed fresh herbs, such as tarragon, dill, basil, or parsley, or a combination, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss asparagus and leek with oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange a fillet on one side of crease on each piece of parchment. Top with asparagus mixture, dividing evenly. Fold each piece of parchment over, then make small overlapping pleats to seal open sides, creating half-moon-shaped packets.
  • Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets, 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to plates and carefully cut packets open with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve, topped with herbs and squeezed with lemon wedges.

ROASTED POTATOES, CARROTS AND LEEKS



Roasted Potatoes, Carrots and Leeks image

This is a combination of several recipes I've seen on food.com and on other sites. This can be very versatile, using whatever type of potatoes and veggies you have on hand, IMO, all veggies taste best when they are roasted. :-) You can also change or add whatever herbs and spices you prefer or happen have on hand and adjust amounts according to your taste. I used dry herbs but I'm sure fresh would be even better.

Time 1h5m

6 -8 potatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Divide potatoes evenly between the roasting pans. .
  • Add baby carrots to both roasting pans. .
  • Slice dark green parts and end of root tip off of the leeks. .
  • Slice the leek vertically from light green end toward root, but leave it attached at the root. .
  • Turn the leek over on its side and slice it vertically again. .
  • Rinse the heck out of the leek, making sure there is no grit in between the layers. .
  • Chop the leeks in to 1 inch pieces. .
  • Reserve the leeks for later. .

  • Make sure potatoes and carrots are in a single layer, if they overlap they went crisp up as well for you. .
  • Place in a 400 degree oven in the top 1/3 of the oven for 30 minutes. .
  • Remove the pans from the oven, add the leeks and the minced garlic and a touch more oil if necessary, and turn the potatoes and carrots and combine with the leeks and garlic. .

  • *I used one metal roasting pan and one ceramic casserole pan and the potatoes and carrots browned faster and nicer in the metal pan. .
  • **making sure the potatoes and vegetables are dry before adding to the pan and drizzling with oil will help them to crisp up better. .

SALMON AND LEEKS BAKED IN PARCHMENT



Salmon and Leeks Baked in Parchment image

Baking parchment, which can be purchased at kitchen-supply stores and some butcher shops, is useful to have on hand. Use any fresh herb you like with the fish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 salmon fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each
1 bunch leeks, sliced thin and well washed
Dry white wine
Olive oil
1 bunch chervil or other fresh herb, chopped
Unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a 24-inch sheet of parchment paper in half, and cut out a heart shape about 3 inches larger than fish fillet. Place fillet near the fold, and place a handful of leeks next to it. Drizzle fish with wine and olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chervil.
  • Brush edges of parchment paper with melted butter, fold paper to enclose fish, and make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at curve of heart. Be sure each fold overlaps the one before it so that there are no gaps. Brush the outside of the package with melted butter. Repeat with rest of fillets.
  • Put packages on a baking sheet, and bake until paper is puffed and brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Select firm, fresh vegetables with no blemishes. Use a variety of colors for a visually appealing dish.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the vegetables are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through. If they are too thin, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Use good quality parchment paper: Parchment paper that is too thin may tear during cooking. Choose a parchment paper that is specifically designed for cooking.
  • Seal the packets well: Make sure the packets are sealed tightly so that the steam cannot escape. If the packets are not sealed properly, the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the packets at the right temperature: The temperature and cooking time will vary depending on the vegetables you are using. Be sure to check the recipe for the specific instructions.

Conclusion:

Cooking vegetables in parchment paper is a healthy and flavorful way to prepare a meal. This cooking method allows the vegetables to retain their nutrients and natural flavors. Parchment paper also helps to keep the vegetables moist and prevents them from drying out. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and nutritious vegetable dish that the whole family will enjoy.
