Leeks with Mustard

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

Split the leeks lengthwise and rinse well. Slice the leeks crosswise very thinly to create half moons. Keep the white part and the green part separate.

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.

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.
