White Wine Braised Leeks
Servings
4Serving size
1 leek with sauce
Ingredients
| 1 Tbsp. Olive oil |
| 4 medium Leeks |
| 4 clove Garlic, raw (crushed) |
| 1/2 cup White wine |
| 1 cup No salt added vegetable stock |
| 1/4 tsp. Salt |
| 1 to taste Black pepper |
| 1 Tbsp. Fresh thyme (about 6 sprigs) |
| 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese (grated) |
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Trim leeks removing the dark green leaves and peeling of the tough outer layer.
Cut leeks lengthwise, leaving each half attached to the root. Clean thoroughly under cold running water to remove sand and grit. Once clean, cut roots off.
Heat a medium oven-proof sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and leeks, cut side down in a SINGLE LAYER. You may have to do this in batches based on the size of your pan and leeks. Cook for 3-4 minutes until leeks have lightly browned.
Flip leeks and cook for another 3 minutes to lightly brown. Once all of the leeks are browned on both sides, add wine, stock, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook in oven for 35 minutes or until leeks are tender.
Once tender, top with parmesan cheese and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
