Leeks braised in butter, white wine, and chicken bone broth with fresh herbs and lemon juice.

My friend Elizabeth tells me that even people who think they don't like leeks like this dish. The leeks are braised in wine and water or stock until soft and golden, then topped with Parmesan and run under a broiler, so you get a crunchy layer on top of soft cooked leeks. One of the tricks here is to discard the outer layers that become papery when you cook them, so that the whole leek will be soft and easy to cut through.

This is a really special dish. In fact, I think it may be the most gorgeous recipe I have ever developed. It makes a beautiful starter or small plate.

From Ronna Welsh's The Nimble Cook A few notes: Be sure to use only the whites and very light green parts of the leeks. If you don't the leeks are just a little harder to chew — not impossible, though it might require a knife-and-fork treatment. If you are making the braised leeks to serve as a side dish, trim the root so that the leeks will still stay intact once quartered. Having made this a few times now, I think, when prepping the leeks for pasta, it's best to trim the root off of…

A simple technique brings out the best in this often-neglected vegetable. We prepared leeks for our braised leek recipe by trimming the roots (yet leaving the root ends intact) and halving the leeks lengthwise. Browning the leeks before adding the braising liquid yielded deep flavor. Whipping up a simple dressing of white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and olive oil was a good step toward enhancing the leeks. But we found that adding back some of the leek braising liquid gave the…

This pasta recipe makes for an easy dinner. Braising means to cook in a liquid or stock, which is exactly what is done here with leeks, the star of the dish. They love being cooked slowly – going soft, sweet and unctuous. A few herbs, a dash of wine, and a grating of parmesan are all else needed.
