⏱️Cook Time: 30 min


🥣Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using kitchen string, tie the Leeks in bundles. Add the Leeks to the boiling water and cook until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk the Vinegar with the Oil and season with Salt and Pepper.

3. Drain the Leeks well. Remove the strings and pat dry. Arrange the Leeks on a platter, drizzle with the Vinaigrette, and serve warm or at room temperature.

💡Tips

  • If your Leeks are sandy, slice them lengthwise almost in half or un quarters (do not cut through the root end) and swish them in a large bowl of Water to remove the grit.

  • I like to thicken my Vinaigrette a little with a teaspoon of Dijon Mustard or Mayonnaise.

  • If serving the Leeks at room temperature, drain them in a colander and rinse under running cold water, then drain well.
