Hey thanks for that! :-)

Sunday dinner is going to be New York strip steak and stuffed mushrooms,
both grilled. I have a Musgovian Leek in the 'frige that needs using and
I was trying to come up with a second side dish.

And I fully agree. Leek should go very well with pork. I've braised pork
roast in the past with lots of garlic and fresh herbs as well as regular
onions. Leeks would be delightful with it.
