Leek Tart and Poached Chicken

Leeks self-seeded in our vegetable garden this year. I didn’t plant any as I have not been able to master a beautiful long white stem. I know the theory of how to get it, I have tried to implement all of the recommended steps but with not much success.
Leeks have a long growing season so I didn’t bother planting any this year. By their own accord I ended up with a beautiful little clump of them in one corner of the garden. I harvested some of them last week and this was one of the resulting meals.
This tart is quick and easy to make. It may also be eaten warm or cold so is a great one to pack for work or school lunches or a picnic. I added the poached chicken on the side but if you wanted to it could be added to the tart. I didn’t like to dry out the chicken when it is so lovely and juicy from being poached.
This is my recipe for Leek Tart with Poached Chicken and chives:
This is a simple meal that the family will enjoy. As the tart may be served warm or cold it could be prepared in advance.
If you have had any luck getting your leeks to grow with long white stems please let me know your tips.

I love leeks so much, but have had no success in growing them here. I will keep trying though. 🙂
Saw this on Twitter and was so impressed! Looks like something you’d be served at a chic restaurant. Love leeks.
This looks so good Kyrstie. I prefer using puff pastry for quiches too. They are the ultimate picnic food! ? I found a few self sown leeks in my garden too this month – amongst the roses. There had been so many bulbs in the bed so it was a complete surprise to find them. Hope your garden enjoyed the early morning rain today. D x
What a brilliant leek tart. It presents beautifully and would definitely be moist with all of that ricotta in it plus flavoursome from the anchovies/capsicums. Thanks Kyrstie!
Thanks Merryn, I hope you get to give it a try. Thanks for dropping by.
