How to Cook Baked Leek and Carrot Loaf
- Prepare and slice the leeks. Peel and finely grate (shred) the carrots. Pour the oil into a frying pan and add the leeks and carrots. Stir well and fry gently for 7-8 minutes to soften the vegetables. Slowly add the breadcrumbs, stirring all the time, then add the chopped parsley and a little salt and freshly-ground pepper.
- Crack the egg into a dish or bowl and beat well. Allow the mixture in the pan to cool a little then add the beaten egg and stir well. Use the butter to grease a small baking tin and press the vegetable mixture well into the tin. Cover with aluminium foil and cook in a preheated oven at Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC for 40 minutes.
- Remove the tin from the oven, take away the foil and use a knife around the sides to loosen the loaf. Turn the tin upside-down onto a plate and the Baked Leek and Carrot Loaf should fall easily from the tin.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Eaten hot, Baked Leek and Carrot Loaf is delicious with bacon and eggs. Cold is best with a slice of ham and a tomato.
What To Eat Tonight
Christmas is that special time of year when diets go out of the window and folks spend more time preparing beautiful meals.
Salads don't have to be plain and boring. Salads can be exciting and filling and simple to prepare. Take a look at some of the ones here.
The smoke, the sizzle, the aroma, yeah - it's time for BBQ but don't buy scrappy steaks if you want to eat like a king.

The use of thin savoury pancakes to hold a variety of fillings is of French origin where they are called crêpes
Crunchy Honeycomb Biscuits are my favourite, having that exquisite blend of 'crunchiness' that separates any home made cookie from a shop-bought one.
A well known Scottish export, shortbread biscuits are sweet and yummy! This recipe is to make round ones, but you can soon adapt it to make fingers.
