Categories     Vegetable     Stew     Lunch

Yield 4 portions

Number Of Ingredients 6

700 g leek
150 g bacon (smoked, dried)
200 g potato
1 spoon fat (pork, preferably)
1 spoon flour
1 teaspoon paprika (red, dried, grounded)

Steps:

  • Wash the leek very thoroughly (there might be some mud between the leaves) and cut them in 1 inch pieces (also the green parts, at least nice looking one). Preheat the water and when it boils put the leek in it and leave it boil for one minute. During this operation prepare this: put fat in a pot, heat it and brown flour in fat (but not too brown). Add grounded paprika and just few drops of cold water to make "zafrig" (a kind of "sauce veloutè"). Take out leek with hollow spoon, add sliced potato in small cubes and water you have cooked leek in it. Season with salt and pepper and cook until potato is soft (10-20 minutes). Serve as a side dish to steaks, sausages, dried smoked ham etc.
