Steps:
- Trim the leeks by removing the outer layer and most of the dark green tops. You should be left with only the white and light green parts. Halve them lengthwise, making sure to leave the root end intact. Place the trimmed leeks in a large bowl of cold water and swish them around to remove the grit and dirt from the many layers. (Leave the leeks in the water for a few minutes - this will loosen up the dirt). Remove the leeks from the water and drain them on a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Place a 12" non-stick skillet over medium heat (the skillet should have a lid which you will need later.) When the skillet is hot, add two tablespoons of butter and when the butter melts, sprinkle the sugar, ¼ teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Next, add the leeks, cut side down in a single layer. Cook the leeks until they become golden brown and caramelized. This will take 5-6 minutes depending on the heat and the kind of skillet you are using.
- To the skillet, add the wine, broth, fresh thyme sprigs and some salt & pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, carefully turning them once or twice (this step is not absolutely necessary). The leeks are done when they can be pierced easily with a knife. If they need a longer time braising or if your liquid has evaporated, add some more wine and broth.
- Remove the leeks from the skillet and place on a serving dish. Cover them to keep them warm. Simmer the remaining liquid in the skillet over medium heat, for a minute or so, until it is thickened. Stir in the remaining 1-tablespoon of butter and the lemon juice. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Spoon the sauce over the leeks; sprinkle some pomegranate seeds (this is optional) and serve warm.
SIMPLE BRAISED LEEKS
Steps:
- Remove outer leaves; cut dark-green ends from leeks. Trim roots, keeping leaves attached. Halve lengthwise; rinse to remove grit.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks to pan and arrange cut side down in a single layer. Cook until softened and light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn leeks and cook on the other side until softened, 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the leeks again so they are cut side down and peel off any papery outer layers. Add stock and wine, stirring to deglaze pan. Cook for 1 minute. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover with a parchment paper round. Cook until the leeks are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.
- Remove parchment, raise heat, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse salt and parsley; serve.

Steps:
- The day before you want to serve this dish, cut the leeks from top to root and wash thoroughly under cold running water. Thinly slice them on the diagonal and put into plastic bags and chill until ready to cook.
- To serve, put a large pan over a medium heat, add the butter and let it melt over the base of the pan. Add the leeks and plenty of seasoning and stir to coat in the butter. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan and cook the leeks gently for about 15 minutes, stirring half way through until they are tender. Serve with extra butter and a sprinkling of thyme leaves.

CARAMELIZED BRAISED LEEKS
The first time I successfully raised Leeks in my garden, I wondered what to do. I came across a recipe for braised leeks, but added a special touch by caramelizing them. They are SOOOOO yummy and easy to make!

Steps:
- In a medium skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the leeks and the chicken broth; Note that the leeks will reduce tremendously! You'll think you have enough to serve an army, but will ending up finishing them up with just a few hungry people!
- Cover and braise, stirring occasionally, for 8-12 minutes or until leeks are tender.
- Remove the lid, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the broth has almost evaporated.
- Increase heat to medium high and sprinkle the sugar over the leeks. If you don't have turbinado sugar, you can use regular granulated sugar, but the flavor will be slightly reduced.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for another 5-10 minutes or until the leeks are lightly caramelized.
- Serve immediately.

FRENCH BRAISED LEEKS
My Parisian friend shared his yummy recipe of Braised Leeks. The OJ and balsalmic vinegar bring out the sweetness of the leeks. I like to double the sauce to serve on the side as well. Great elegant side dish for a brunch or dinner. Enjoy!

LEEKS IN RED WINE
Steps:
- Put the butter in a skillet with a lid or a saucepan large enough to hold the leeks in one layer and place over medium heat. A minute later, add the leeks; sprinkle them with salt and pepper and cook, turning once or twice, for about 5 minutes, until they begin to brown.
- Add the wine and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook until the leeks are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the leeks to a platter. Raise the heat under the liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Pour it over the leeks and serve immediately or serve at room temperature or cold.
- Leeks in White Wine (Germany)
- A less rich, more tart preparation: In step 2, substitute white wine for the red; omit the stock. Finish with the juice of 1/2 lemon.
BUTTERY LEEKS WITH PARMESAN AND THYME
Rather than sizzling on the stove, these leeks nestle into a roasting pan with white wine, vegetable broth, a few sprigs of thyme, and a scattering of cubed butter. An hour or so later, you shower them with nutty-salty Parmesan and slide them under the broiler for one last burnishing blast.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim dark-green tops and root ends from leeks and discard; halve lengthwise.

Arrange in a snug single layer, cut sides up, in a broiler-safe baking dish or skillet.
- In a small saucepan, boil wine 30 seconds. Add broth and return to a boil; season generously with salt and pepper. Pour mixture over leeks, then sprinkle with butter and thyme. Cover dish with parchment-lined foil.
- Roast 45 minutes. Uncover and continue roasting until leeks are very soft and broth mixture is reduced by half, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Switch oven to broil. Sprinkle leeks with cheese. Broil 6 to 8 inches from heating element until bubbly and browning in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm, with some of braising liquid.

- Trim off the leek greens right where the light green part ends and it starts to turn a darker green and set aside to use another time (don't throw away).
- Slice each leek in half lengthwise. Trim off the hairy end of the leek (either with scissors or a knife) but keep the root intact. (Side note: Not all leeks have hair, but some do.)
- After you cut the leeks in half, run them under cold water to thoroughly (yet gently) clean between the layers to remove dirt and grit. Shake off any excess water, pat dry, and set aside.
- Heat a large pan (that has a lid you'll use later) over medium heat. Once warm, add the olive oil, sugar, and salt. Give it a quick stir and add the leeks in a single layer with the cut side down. Cook them for 5 minutes, turn over with tongs and cook the other side for 2-3 more minutes.
