Mama’s Creamy Leeks – 4 Servings
Ingredients list:
4 cups Julianne leeks after cleaning.
Two and a half tablespoons salted butter
One cup of chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons heavy cream
One pinch freshly ground nutmeg one sprig fresh thyme
Salt and black pepper, chopped parsley
Recipe:
Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat
Do not allow it to get brown, be careful on the heat management, as it is easy to burn butter.
Add and cook the leaks for 2 to 3 minutes without letting them get brown
Add slowly, one cup chicken stock. Place one sprig of fresh thyme
Cover and simmer until the leeks are tender, about 5 minutes. Take the lid off and increase the heat to medium high and then add 1/4 cup dry white wine. ( I like a nice Sauvignon Blanc)
I say buy a nice bottle, you can drink a nice glass while you’re cooking your meal !
Bring the leeks slowly to a boil until the liquid is reduced by half. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Then stir in two tablespoons of heavy cream slowly. A fourth teaspoon of freshly grated ground nutmeg to taste. ( Start with a small pinch and then add more to taste )
Cook down the cream until it is absorbed and then season the salt and pepper to taste and add a little bit of fresh chopped parsley or Chervil to the top.
Voila you have an amazing and unique side dish !
Another variation I like is to add and cook down some prosciutto in some olive oil in the pan before you add the butter.
Cooking time from start to finish;
If you are double or tripling this recipe, plan on about an hour to prep and cook.
If you are cooking it several hours ahead of time, I suggest undercooking the leeks a little bit as they will start to get overcooked if you have them sitting on a warmer for too long.
We do hope you enjoy it this holiday season!!!
