Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 350. Trim the leeks of the hard green parts and outer skin, and wash them well. If they’re fat, quarter them the long way. Chop the tomatoes and put them in a gratin dish long enough to hold the leeks but narrow enough so that everything is snug. Add the oil and nestle the leeks in there; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Bake, checking and stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become saucy and the leeks are very, very tender, about an hour. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan and raise the heat until the cheese melts and browns a bit. Otherwise, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot or warm.

Added a few sprig of fresh thyme and 2 bay leaves to the mixture. When done, I topped with grated gruyere cheese and placed under broiler to lightly brown. Served with crusty bread to "maximize" the juices.
Yes yes yes. This was so lovely, comforting, and refreshing. I was rushed a bit to get dinner on the table and cooked this at 450 for 30 minutes and it was delicious and a bit crispy - so you can speed it up if necessary. I look forward to trying it again soon as the recipe is written.
Cooked on Aug 11, 2020, cleaning out fridge, 2 large leeks quartered lengthwise 2 large tomatoes sliced 3 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise Didn't measure the olive oil - glug, glug salt, pepper baked 350, covered with foil oh, what about the 4 oz of mushrooms sautéed in oil, added to pan then raised to 400, uncovered about an hour total plenty good
Added coarse breadcrumbs with parm, shredded basil and olive oil for the last 20 minutes. Lovely
New to cooking leeks. What constitutes “large”? Does it matter how you arrange them in the pan - just long? Do you cut the leeks to serve?
Delicious, simple, and comforting.
