CP - it was a winner dinner, thanks for the lovely recipe.
AliRo - I decided not to bother cooking the leek & asparagus before putting in and it turned out nice. I also put feta in mine and it was super yum! Cooked for 45 minutes.

does anyone have any idea whether I really need to cook the leek and asparagus before putting in the oven? I'm thinking that because it's in the oven for 45min that it should be able to cook in there. Just trying to be lazy and miss a couple of steps ;)

well, I'll answer my own question. I decided not to bother cooking them before putting in and it turned out nice. I also put feta in mine and it was super yum!

You didn't end up with a raw leeky taste AliRo?
-
nope. It was in the oven for about 45 minutes, so it would have cooked in there. However I often put raw onion etc in my cooking if I know it's going in the oven.
