LAZY OVEN BRAISED LEEKS WITH LEMON
Most braising recipes call for stovetop cooking for color before oven baking to finish. This recipe cuts out the need for dirtying up the first stovetop pan completely. Simple and fresh, these leeks go especially well with pork.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. Add the fat to an ovenproof dish large enough to fit the leeks when cut in half. Put dish in the oven for a few minutes while you prep the leeks.
- Cut the tough green leaf ends from the leeks and discard (or save for stock). Slice the leeks in half lengthwise, leaving the root end intact.
- Rinse the leeks under running water, separating out the first few layers to wash out any trapped dirt or grit.
- Lay the washed leeks out on some paper towel and pat dry. Remove the root end and slice once again lengthwise so that the leeks are in quarters.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the leeks, cut side down, in the butter or ghee. If it has browned a little, so much the better! Season with salt and pepper to taste, then return the dish and leeks to the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, until the bottoms begin to caramelize.
- Add chicken stock, cover and bake for 10 more minutes, or until tender.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the top of the leeks while still in the baking dish, tossing them through the lemon & braising liquid. Sprinkle with lemon zest before serving & make sure to drizzle the braising liquid over the leeks, too!
EASY LEMON BRAISED LEEKS RECIPE
Instead of using lots of fat or high heat to cook the leeks, we use stock to stew them slowly in a pot covered by a lid. This makes the leeks tender and creates the most delicious broth on the bottom of the pot.

Steps:
- In a pot with lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the stock, lemon zest, a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Bring to a simmer then turn heat down and cook, covered, at a low simmer, until tender, about 10 minutes.
BRAISED LEEKS WITH PARMESAN
My friend Elizabeth tells me that even people who think they don't like leeks like this dish. The leeks are braised in wine and water or stock until soft and golden, then topped with Parmesan and run under a broiler, so you get a crunchy layer on top of soft cooked leeks. One of the tricks here is to discard the outer layers that become papery when you cook them, so that the whole leek will be soft and easy to cut through.

Steps:
- Cut the ends and the dark green leaves of the leeks, and cut in half lengthwise. Place in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then run under the faucet to remove any sand that may be lingering in between the layers. Peel off thick outer layers and discard.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet that will accommodate all of the leeks in one layer. Place the leeks in the pan, cut side down, and cook, shaking the pan and moving them around with tongs, until they are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the leeks over and cook on the other side until they are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the leeks back over so that the cut side is down. Peel off the outer layers if they are papery, as they will not soften when the leeks are braised. Pour in the wine and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pan, then add enough water or stock to come just to the top of the leeks. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, until the leeks are thoroughly tender when pierced with a knife. Most of the liquid should have evaporated by this time. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
- Transfer the leeks to an oiled ovenproof pan if your skillet cannot go under the broiler. Using tongs, turn the leeks so that the flat side is up. If there is still a lot of liquid in the pan, pour it off. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the leeks. Place under the hot broiler until the cheese has melted and is beginning to color. Remove from the heat and serve.

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, trim most of the roots off the end of the leek, leaving enough so that the leek remains attached at the bottom. Cut each leek lengthwise into halves and then cut each half into inch long pieces. Soak leeks in a large bowl of cool water to allow any dirt to settle to the bottom.
- In a saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks to the skillet. Cook the leeks, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with thyme and cook one minute more.
- Add stock, reduce heat to medium low. Braise the leeks, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until the leeks are very tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
