SAUTEED CREAMED LEEKS

Ingredients (~ 2 servings)

  • 1 kg of Leek stalks
  • 50 g Butter
  • 50 ml Cream
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the leaves of leek about 10 cm above the beginning of the first leaf.
Green leaves will not be used in the recipe; usually, they are too hard.

Cut the stems in half lengthwise.

Wash onion stalks under running water. Cut the onion into half rings, approximately 3-4 mm thick.

Melt the butter in a large frying pan, add chopped onion. Salt and pepper*.
* Note that stewed onions will decrease in volume: it is better to salt and pepper a little at the beginning, and then adjust the amount of salt and spices a little later.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes over medium heat under a lid. Add cream and simmer for another 2 minutes. At the end of cooking, sprinkle the leeks with the juice of half a lemon.

Chef’s tips

I added some crumbles, using the dough of the cооkies for winе. You will need approximately 1/4 of the dough from the recipe. Coarse the chilled dough onto a sheet of baking paper – Bake for 5-7 minutes at 200С until golden brown.
