Description
This Mediterranean sauce features Leek; =or. The flavors come together beautifully. A reliable recipe that works well for everyday cooking. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.
Ingredients
  • 12 md Leek; =or
Directions
  1. 1
    1/2 c Olive oil 2 tb Dijon mustard (recipe) 1/4 c Red wine vinegar 1/4 ts Salt 1/4 ts Ground black pepper 2 Shallots, finely chopped 1 tb Chopped fresh parsley Trim the root ends from the leeks, leaving the bases intact.
  2. 2
    Trim the tops of the leeks to a uniform length.
  3. 3
    If you are using very young leeks, the green tops are nice and tender and only 1 inch need be trimmed.
  4. 4
    The upper greens of mature leeks tend to be tough and stringy, and all but 2 or 3 inches should be removed.
  5. 5
    Place the leeks on a steamer rack and set over gently boiling water.
  6. 6
    Cover and steam the leeks until tender, about 10 minutes for young leeks, and up to 20 minutes for medium-sized leeks and quartered large leeks.
  7. 7
    While the leeks are steaming, make the dressing.
  8. 8
    Place the olive oil in a small bowl.
  9. 9
    Add the mustard and beat together until the oil thickens.
  10. 10
    Add the vinegar, salt, pepper, and shallots.
  11. 11
    Set aside.
  12. 12
    Arrange the warm leeks on a serving platter.
  13. 13
    Pour the dressing kover them and turn them gently to coat evenly.
  14. 14
    Sprinkle with the parsley.
  15. 15
    I like the leeks best when they are served slightly warm or at room temperature, but they may also be made ahead and served chilled
