sautéed leeks
various dates
I have done this many times, but don't seem to have pictures of it. Sautéed leeks have a butter-saucy look and flavor. They have a stronger taste than boiled leeks, because the flavor doesn't get dissolved in the soup.
- Cut, clean, wash the leeks whites.
Discard the greens. Chickens love them.
- Cut into rings or small pieces.
It is possible to braise leek trunks whole, but will take longer cooking times.
- Heat butter / olive oil in a small saucepan.
- Add chopped leeks.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the leeks are soft.
Extra liquid is likely not necessary. Just in case, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water at a time to prevent burning.
- Serve and enjoy.

Boil or sauté the leeks, as you prefer, and drain thoroughly before adding the sauce.
