Ingredients
2 tsp. Olive oil |
1 large Leeks |
2 tsp. Dried or rubbed sage |
1 tsp. Dijon mustard |
1/8 tsp. Salt |
1 to taste Black pepper |
1/4 tsp. Sugar |
Instructions
Put 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the green part of the leeks. Add the sage and cook over low-medium heat until the leeks are slightly wilted (about 3 minutes).
Add the white part of the leeks and the mustard, stir well, and continue cooking over low-medium heat, stirring frequently. When the white part of leeks are slightly wilted, reduce the heat to low, add the salt, pepper and sugar, stir and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Lactose
This recipe is safe for those who are lactose intolerant.Recipe Notes
Leeks cook really fast. In this recipe I wanted them to have some texture and by keeping the heat lower they will wilt and soften but will still have some “bite.” Keep the heat a little lower with the leeks for this recipe.
