Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Trim and rinse the leeks, discarding the roots and all but an inch or two of the green. Place the leeks in a skillet or casserole dish and add the stock, wine, butter, salt and pepper to taste. If necessary, add a little water so that the liquid comes about halfway up the leeks.

  2. Step 2

    Place on top of the stove and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 15 minutes. Turn the leeks and continue to simmer until they are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more. (Add a little more water if they become dry.) Serve immediately.
