BRAISED WILD LEEKS

Steps:

• Trim the leeks like you would a green onion, retaining the bulb and the leaves.
• Rinse thoroughly to wash away any trapped dirt and chop the leaves coarsely.
• Pour just enough water in a 10 inch pan to cover the base.
• Add the leeks, butter and maple syrup to the water and bring to a boil.
• Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam until all the water evaporates.
• Remove the lid from the pan and sauté for a few more minutes until the leeks are tender.
• When ready to serve, the leaves will look(and taste) like cooked spinach.
