Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 3 large leeks
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper

Instruction

  • Chop the leeks (watch the video!): Chop off the dark green stems of the leeks, then slice them in half length-wise. Place each leek half cut-side down, then chop it into thin slices, resulting in half-moon shapes. Rinse the slices thoroughly in a colander to remove any dirt. 
  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium high heat. Add the leeks and cook stirring often, about 4 to 5 minutes, until they soften and just before they begin to brown.
  • Season with a few pinches of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
