Instructions

  1. 1 Combine the fennel, leek, bay leaf, vegetable bouillon, and water in a pressure cooker. Lock the lid of the pressure cooker, bring it up to pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove cooker from the heat and let the pressure reduce on its own, 5 to 10 minutes. If your pressure cooker does not have a quick-release function, reduce cooking time slightly as food will continue to cook while pressure releases slowly.
  2. 2 Stir the olive oil into the soup, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 Cut off the leek tops (the dark green, fibrous parts) and wash well. Set aside the leek bottoms.
  2. 2 Put clean leak tops in the bottom of a large pot. Place chicken on top and add bay leaf, garlic, dried plums, and 3 quarts water. Set over high heat until it starts to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and simmer gently, occasionally pushing the chicken under the liquid with tongs, for 1 hour 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, prepare leek bottoms by trimming off the root ends and slicing them in half lengthwise. Turn leeks and cut crosswise into ½-inch slices. Transfer to a large bowl and fill with cold water so leeks are floating. Toss with your hands to loosen dirt. Grab leeks with your hands, shake gently to remove water, and transfer to another bowl. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
  4. 4 Carefully lift chicken with two forks, let liquid drain from the cavity, and place it in a bowl. Separate meat from skin and bones. Tear meat into bite-sized pieces put in the refrigerator until needed.
  5. 5 Place skin and bones back into the pot and gently simmer for 1 more hour.
  6. 6 Set a colander in a bowl. Use a skimmer spoon to transfer all solids from the broth to the colander. Discard solids and transfer any broth back to the pot.
  7. 7 Add half of the sliced leeks to the pot with salt, pepper, and rice. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour, skimming some fat off if you want and adding more water if it's reducing down too much.
  8. 8 Add remaining sliced leeks, chicken, and thyme. Simmer over medium-low for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve.

  1. 1 Slice leek in half lengthwise, then slice thinly crosswise.
  2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, nonstick, broiler-safe skillet over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven's broiler with the rack in the upper third position.
  4. 4 Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add baking powder, fenugreek, salt, and turmeric; whisk until thoroughly combined. Fold in parsley, cilantro, dill, and leeks. Gently stir to combine; the mixture will be mostly herbs, with just enough egg for moisture.
  5. 5 Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add herb mixture and distribute evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom and edges are just set, about 8 minutes.
  6. 6 Uncover and cook under the preheated broiler until the top and middle are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
