More on Keto Creamed Leeks…
Leeks are a nutritious vegetable that offer a variety of health benefits. They belong to the Allium family, which includes garlic and onions. They are known for their unique flavour and mild onion-like taste.

Leeks are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins K, C, A, and several B vitamins (such as folate and niacin). They also provide minerals like potassium, manganese, and iron.
Leeks are a good source of dietary fibre, which can aid in digestion and help promote a feeling of fullness. They contain various antioxidants, including flavonoids and polyphenols. These are known to help protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Some compounds in leeks, such as kaempferol and quercetin, have anti-inflammatory properties. This may help reduce inflammation and potentially lower the risk of diseases associated with inflammation. Furthermore, the vitamin C in leeks plays a vital role in supporting the immune system.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Keto Creamed Leeks
Per serving
Ingredients
- 2 large leeks
- 1 TB unflavoured coconut oil
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 300 g (10.6 oz) warm chicken stock
- 70 g (2.5 oz) sour cream
- salt and white pepper
- chopped parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Trim the leeks, removing and discarding the end and any green parts (which are bitter). Rinse well and thinly slice. You should yield approximately 320g / 11oz sliced leeks.
- Heat coconut oil in a wide-bottomed pan and fry the minced garlic over low heat until softened. Do not allow them to burn. Add the leeks, increase the heat a little and cook until the leeks have softened and wilted, stirring continuously.
- Pour in the warm chicken stock and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then remove the lid and simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes. All the stock should evaporate, so keep stirring to avoid the mixture catching.
- Stir in the sour cream and reduce the heat to avoid the cream splitting. Once it has warmed through, season with salt and white pepper and serve garnished with chopped parsley. (For a richer, cheesier version, stir through some finely grated Parmesan before serving.)
