Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the leeks, remove the root and the outer green leaves. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the leeks, and cook for 15 minutes until soft.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt the butter with the sunflower oil in a saucepan, mix in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Then slowly pour in the milk while continuing to stir, and cook for another 10 minutes. Then lightly salt and stir in the tomato sauce.
Step 3
Drain the water from the leeks, transfer them to a baking dish, and pour the resulting pink sauce over them.
Step 4
Sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 390°F until a golden crust forms. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and serve immediately in the same dish.
