#weirdvegwednesday was a pretty tasty creation this week. I’ll admit that we don’t love every new vegetable that we try…but when we started this, our goal was to step outside what we were comfortable with when it came to trying to new food. This week we made Stuffed Leeks. It was a play on manicotti but without the pasta and it was DELICIOUS. I took the tubes from the leeks and stuffed it with a chicken sausage. The sauce is lemon, caper, tomato, leek sauce. Garnished it with some parmesan and parsley. “You can learn a lot about a person by the food that they eat. Are they willing to take chances? Will you try new things and step outside of your comfort zone?” ~ An excerpt from Dan’s ebook that he hasn’t written yet ~ Chicken Sausage
Tomato, Leek, Lemon, Caper Sauce
Assembling Stuffed Leeks So when you get your leeks you will want to cut the a 4 inch section from the bottom. In order to get the leek “tubes” push in the middle of the leek. Make sure you push towards the green side of the leek as it is the wider side and it will come apart easier. You should be able to get 8-10 tubes from 3 large leeks. Once you have separated, clean the tubes by rinsing. Make sure you set aside the interior of the leek, as you will use that with the sauce. Make sure you clean this part of the leek also as leeks tend to be very sandy. Once you have your leek tubes, fill each with your sausage mixture. You should have enough sausage for 8 or so stuffed leeks. Arrange all of your stuffed leeks into a baking dish and top with your sauce. Bake for 35-45 minutes until sausage is cooked through. Garnish with some paremesan and chopped parsley.

Can I eat out while doing this program? Although it is recommended that at least the first time you go through the 21 days you try to make all of your own food. The program does allow you to eat out using similar portioning as if you were to make your own food and fill the containers. Are there any foods that are off limits? In the nutrition guide that comes with the program will be a list of the “best” foods to fill the containers with within each category. You are allowed to put anything you want in those containers however. That even includes wine and chocolate. So NO, you can eat the same food you do right now. Your results may vary depending on the quality of foods that you fill your containers with along with how many “treats” you have. Can I use my own containers while doing the program? No, the containers that come with the program are designed specifically to give you the right amount of each food category. You will be able to buy an extra set of containers, if you would like. |
