CREAMY GARLIC, PARMESAN, LEEKS AND RICE

Creamy Garlic, Parmesan, Leeks and Rice image

a mixture and modification of several recipes I've found (#468912 & #468912). Sort of a risotto, but simpler to make, good as a side. I added a leek from an extra I had after making soup. You could easily make this vegetarian by using vegetable broth.
