Here’s a quinoa and leek gratin recipe just for you. Leeks and quinoa are a good combination to delight the taste buds. Maybe you already tried our quinoa and leeks patties recipe posted a while ago. If so, you know what I mean. When you top the whole stuff with cheddar, you get an extra dish that you would make more than once, I guess!

For about 4 to 5 people:
- 10 ounces (300g) quinoa
- 10 ounces (300g) leeks
- 1 3/4 ounces (50g) cheddar
- Herbes de Provence (thyme, oregano, rosemary)
- Salt and pepper
- Baking soda (optional)
- 1 vegetable cube stock (or do it by yourself, it’s even better, get the vegetable stock recipe here)
Directions
Wash and cut the leeks into rings. Put the sliced leeks into a saucepan filled with salted water, then add baking soda. Cook until the leek is tender, I mean about 15 to 20 minutes.
In another pot of water, melt the vegetable broth — or just heat the vegetable broth you made previously. When melted, pour in the quinoa and cook as directed on the package.
Preheat oven to 360°f (180°c, gas mark 6-7). Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside in a bowl.
Once the leeks are cooked, drain them and put them in a deep baking dish that’s not too big and not too deep.
Once the quinoa is cooked, drain, salt, and pepper it, and then put it over the sliced leeks, well spread.
Sprinkle grated cheddar and Provencal herbs.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Serve hot!
