Leek Fritters with Garlic

4 cups leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced (white only)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
3 eggs beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
Salt and freshly ground black
Olive oil for pan frying

Cut off the bottoms of the leeks and
discard. Thinly slice the white part only of the leeks. Rinse and
drain well. Discard the dark green tops of the leeks. Heat a large
frying pan and add the oil, garlic, and leeks. Saute quickly over
high heat for 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl to cool. Add the remaining
ingredients to the bowl and mix together.
Heat a large nonstick frying pan and add the oil for frying. Measure
out 1/2 cup quantities of the fritter muxture and add to the hot pan.
Flatten each one slightly and fry over medium heat until golden brown
on both sides. (You will have to do this in batches so there is ample
room in the frying pan.) Add more oil, if necessary. Remove to drain
on paper towels, and serve hot.
