Vegan French-Style Braised Leeks

• portions: 2 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

2 tbsp olive oil

2 leeks (thickly sliced)

2 garlic cloves (minced)

250 ml vegetable stock

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp dried thyme

a pinch of salt and black pepper

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan on a medium heat. Once hot, add the leeks and sauté over the heat, stirring often, for 3 minutes until nicely browned. Then add the garlic and stir over the heat for another minute until browned.*

Once browned, add the vegetable stock and the rest of the ingredients, stir well, put the lid on and turn the heat down to low. Simmer over the low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

It is ready when the leeks are meltingly soft. Test them with a sharp knife which should slide in very easily. If there is any resistance against the knife, keep cooking for a few more minutes with the lid on until they are super soft.

Once soft, take the pan off the heat and serve, garnished with fresh herbs if you like. It will also keep for up to half an hour with the lid on to keep it warm.
