This was one of the instantaneous recipes put together with ingredients that had to be used up. I had surplus leeks from a leek, potato and kielbasa soup that I made last week (will post that recipe soon) and a pack of mushrooms needed inspiration. So I went and bought some jalapenos and made this. The amount here will serve two.
Materials:
- Leek: 1, chop into rounds or julienne, whichever you like
- Jalapeno: 1, cut in half and remove seeds, soak in water
- Mushrooms (I used the regular whites): 1 8oz pack, wash and remove stems, then halve
- Oil
- Onion: 1 finely chopped
- Butter: 1 tablespoon
- Salt, to taste
Preparation:
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Add onions. Saute until transparent/very lightly browned. Add butter and stir fry for about 1 minute after it melts. Now add mushrooms and salt and stir fry until the water (from mushrooms) evaporates. Add jalapeno (use half if you're worried about the heat) and stir - NOTE - you do NOT want to inhale at this point as the jalapenos will produce some rather stinging fumes. When mushrooms are lightly browned, add leeks and stir fry for 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat.
Sprinkle a little water and continue to stir fry for 2-3 minutes more and then turn off heat; leave for about 10 minutes to let flavours develop.
Serving:
Enjoy as a side dish with bratwurst/kielbasa and/or a baked potato; also great on buttered bread for a quick snack. If you do not want to use jalapenos, try some freshly ground black pepper instead.
