Creamed Leeks


Ingredients:
  • 2  tablespoon  butter
  • 3  lb  leeks (about 8)
  • 1/2  cup  dry white wine
  • 1/3  cup  heavy cream
  •   dash  coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions:
Serves 4
Prep time: 30 Minutes
Total Time: 55 Minutes

Prepare leeks: use whites and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut 1 inch thick crosswise, cleaned.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add wine and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low. Cover skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Uncover skillet; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes. Add cream; simmer until it has thickened and coats leeks, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
