Instructions
In a small pan over medium-high heat, saute leeks and 1 tablespoon olive oil until leeks are softened.
While that sautes, combine remaining ingredients, including the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor.
Add leeks once sauteed and process until smooth and a ball just starts to form. The "dough" will be wet but should just start to form into some sort of ball shape.
Transfer dough to a medium bowl.
With wet hands (you will need to wet your hands after every other patty, dough is very wet & sticky) form into patty shape.
Using the same skillet you sauteed the leeks in, add enough olive oil to be able to pan fry the patties over medium-high heat. Fry on one side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown, flip and pan fry the other side adding more olive oil as needed.
Repeat with remaining patties.
Serve warm garnished with plain greek yogurt, parmesan and leeks.
