FAQ ❓

What to serve with leek fondue?

We love serving leek fondue as a side dish with pan-fried or steamed salmon (our recipes are available on the site) or seared scallops. A perfect flavor combination for healthy, hassle-free cooking. Of course, any fish or meat will go well with this recipe to make a perfect meal.

How long can I keep leek fondue?

Keep this leek fondue in the refrigerator for 3 days, either on a plate covered with parchment paper or aluminum foil, or, better yet, in an airtight container. Then simply reheat it in the microwave or in a pan.

How many leeks do I need for a fondue?

Allow about 1 to 1.5 leek whites per person to make a perfect fondue.

Which part of the leek should I use for a fondue?

To ensure a perfect leek fondue, we recommend using the white parts up to the "tender green" part. Above that, the green part of the leek is much more fibrous, which will affect the texture of the finished dish.

Can I use whole leeks in a fondue?

You can also use the green parts of your leeks. To do this, separate the white parts from the green parts. After thoroughly cleaning the greens and removing any damaged parts, cut them up and sauté them in another pan with a little fat. Then add enough vegetable broth to cover the leek greens and cook for about 10–15 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated. Add them to the pan with the leek whites and cook them together to make a perfect fondue.

How can I reuse the green parts of my leeks?

You know that in Ptitchef's kitchen, we do our best to limit waste! To reuse your leek greens, add them to soups, broths, or quiche fillings. Our favorite combination is leeks and goat cheese—why not give it a try? With this vegetable's nutritional value, it would be a shame to waste it ;-)

What can I do with leftover leek fondue?

It's perfect with fresh pasta ;-) A great way to make an easy, comforting TV dinner.

What spices can I add to my leek fondue?

Chili, saffron, or curry—let your taste buds decide!

Can leek fondue be frozen?

No problem! Once it's ready, put it in a freezer bag. When you're ready to eat it, simply reheat it in a pan or saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.

How do I make leek fondue with frozen leeks?

A quicker option than the traditional recipe! Cook the leeks in water or steam them for about 10 minutes. Then follow the usual steps in your recipe.

What can I use instead of white wine in this recipe?

This ingredient is optional and adds a subtle aroma to the finished dish. If you don't want to use it, simply leave it out; there's no need to replace it.

What can I use instead of shallot in this recipe?

An onion!

Is there an alternative to cream?

We love adding cream for an exceptionally creamy result. However, you can replace regular cream (made from cow's milk) with a plant-based cream, such as soy, rice, or almond.
