Perfect and quick recipe for Leek stew

Leek stew is one of those dishes that we adore more and more over the years, even though we didn't really appreciate it in our youth. Leek stew is rich in vitamin C and minerals that are the perfect combination for a delicious and healthy lunch or dinner. In addition, leek as food helps regulate blood sugar, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and is also known to support regular digestion.  Preparation of leek stew is not particularly demanding. Although some people like to blanch it beforehand in order to soften its intense taste, this is not really necessary, and for fans of the aroma and taste of leeks, pre-blanching is something that is strictly forbidden. It is a real homemade extremely tasty dish from one pot. Serve the leek stew immediately as a hot lunch or dinner, and you can take it to work as a snack and enjoy it cold or reheated.
