Chef tips
To get the most sweetness out of the leeks, make sure to sauté them over medium heat until they become translucent and soft before adding the meat and rice; it adds incredible depth of flavor to the bake. For a lighter version, you can swap the lamb for lean beef or chopped chicken thighs. Serve it alongside a fresh vegetable salad with plenty of lemon to balance the rich flavors.
