How to make
Braised Leeks
  • Cut off roots and trim dark green tops from leeks; cut each leek lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick slices. Rinse leeks in large bowl of cold water, swishing to remove sand. Transfer to colander to drain, leaving sand in bottom of bowl.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, combine leeks, butter, salt, and water; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove cover; cook until water has evaporated, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Makes 4 accompaniment servings.
