Melted Leeks

Recipe Ingredients

8		Leeks (medium)
1/2		Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons	30ml	Water - if necessary
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Fresh parsley or chervil - chopped

Recipe Instructions

Cut off the dark green leaves from the top of the leeks. Slit the leeks about half way down the center and wash well under cold running water. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan; when it foams, add the sliced leeks and toss gently to coat with butter. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and add 1 or 2 tablespoon water if necessary. Cover with a paper lid and a close-fitting saucepan lid. Reduce the heat and cook very gently for 20 to 30 minutes approximately, or until soft and moist. Check and stir every now and then. Serve on a warm dish sprinkled with chopped parsley or chervil.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
