Makeshift recipe

I don’t have many recipes for preparing puffballs. I usually bread and fry them like a schnitzel. But you don’t want to eat that that often, so I came up with this recipe, which is more of a suggestion. Sauté the diced onion and garlic in hot oil until translucent, and brown them a little if you like. Just before the end, fry the finely chopped leek. Peel the skin off the puffball, cut it into large cubes (about 1.5 cm), and add it to the onions. Fry briefly, stirring gently. Pour in the stock and cream. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with a little white wine. We had homemade onion bread with it. But I can imagine it would also be delicious with potatoes, pasta, or rice.
