Easy Rustic Leek Gratin with Coconut Milk (AIP – Paleo – GAPS – SCD)

Rustic Leek Gratin (AIP - Paleo) - A Squirrel in the KitchenLeeks are my husband’s favorite vegetables, and I understand because I think they smell incredible when you start cutting them!  A combination of fresh and healthy that I find irresistible.  Leeks are often used in soups and stews, but you can also serve them as a stand alone vegetable, with any kind of meat.  In this rustic leek gratin, I use sage and oregano to enhance the flavor and coconut milk for a creamy texture.  Simple, no fuss, and satisfying!

    This was really fantastic! I had never thought to make a gratin like this, and this delivered on taste and that perfect top. My two-year-old enjoyed it also. So easy – a great one to have in the recipe box. Thanks.

    I finally made this last night. I used a single giant leek, the first time I’ve seen them in the store this spring. I loved it! I finished off half last night and will have it for breakfast this morning! I will make again. I followed the recipe exactly. Thank you!
