LEEKS IN WHITE WINE



Leeks in White Wine image

When you cook leeks in wine, they develop great depth of flavor. This is my favorite way to prepare leeks on their own.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium leeks, about 2 1/2 pounds, white and light green parts only
Salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup dry white wine, like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, mint or dill (or a combination)

Steps:

  • Cut the ends and the dark green leaves off the leeks, and then cut them in half lengthwise. Place in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then run them under the faucet to remove any sand that may be lingering in between the layers. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the leeks. Parboil for two minutes and drain.
  • Spoon the olive oil into a wide, lidded skillet, and place the leeks in the skillet in an even layer. Pour in the wine, and add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and the garlic. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, until the leeks are very tender but still intact and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Remove from the heat, and allow the leeks to cool in the juices left in the pan. Transfer to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasonings. Sprinkle on the fresh herbs and serve.

LEEKS WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE



Leeks With Creamy Wine Sauce image

The lowly leek, which resembles a scallion on steroids, is a national emblem of Wales. Did you know that on March 1, St. David's Day, patriotic Welsh and those of Welsh descent wear a leek on their clothing? (I'm guessing not a REAL one but a pin??) Also, it is tradition that soldiers in the Welsh regiments eat a raw leek on St David's Day. Posted for ZWT II.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter
6 -8 leeks
1/2 cup white wine
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup creme fraiche (make your own from the many recipes here on Zaar)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Clean the leeks using your tried & true method or trim off the root end and about 1/4 inch of the white base. Remove any ragged, coarse outer leaves and discard. Trim each of the darkest portion of the leaves down to the light green, more tender portion, leaving about 2 inches of green. Slice the leeks down the center and rinse under cold running water to remove all dirt and sand, being careful to get in between the leaves. Drain on paper towels and proceed with recipe.
  • Cut leeks in half lengthwise then cut into thin half moon slices. Place in a colander & rinse again. (leeks seem to be sand magnets).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan or large frying pan. Add leeks, wine, salt & garlic. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock & continue cooking until leeks are soft, another 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat & stir in the creme fraiche, parsley, lemon juice & Tabasco.

  • After cutting and cleaning the leeks, pat them dry and sprinkle the cut side with salt and pepper.
  • In a large pan, over medium heat, melt butter. Once butter is melted, place leeks face-side down and sauté them until they've browned (about 2 minutes). There is no need to turn the leeks while they are sautéing; keep them face down the whole time.
  • As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn heat down to medium-low, cover with a lid, and let the leeks cook for about 10 minutes.
