Spork and Skewer

 How can something as simple and plain be transformed into something so creamy, rich, and delicious? Risotto is a wonderful thing because it is inexpensive, and impressive. Admittedly, I never grew-up eating risotto. This is something my husband introduced to me back when we were dating. I decided to keep both him, AND the risotto. When you make this, you'll understand.
 

At our house, we love leeks. They have a mellow onion flavor and can be cooked down to be sweet and creamy. A few years back, for my mom's 50th birthday, I made a delicious leek tart. Recently, Miles made a French onion type soup with leeks; it was a hit. Last week, I had a another leek craving; this is what I came up with. We served this baked potato as our main dish with a salad on the side. This recipe could be easily modified as a twice baked potato. In that case, I would serve half a potato per person as a side dish. If you are scared of leeks, give this recipe a try. You won't be sorry!
