Savoury Waffles with Creamy Leeks

If you don't have a waffle maker you can use a small griddle pan but you might need to double the quantity of the batter. 
Red onions contain twice as many antioxidants as other onions. They are high in quercetin which can help to reduce inflammation and fight allergies and hay fever. Leeks are a prebiotic food which feed our friendly gut bacteria.
