The Most Delicious Leek Recipe : Charred and Braised Leeks

• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

4 large leeks (white and light green parts)

1 tbsp olive oil

25g butter

500ml chicken stock (chicken bouillon) - I used @knorr Chicken Stock Cube with no added salt

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season

Optional toppings: Burrata, sundried tomato pesto, mixed seeds, microgreens

Directions

Slice the leeks in half lengthwise, rinse them thoroughly, and pat them dry. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat, char the leeks on both sides until golden-brown, then pour in chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Cover and braise for 10 minutes, then cook uncovered for another 10 minutes to reduce the liquid. Serve hot and top with optional toppings as desired. #foodtok #leeks #irishfood #irishrecipe #springrecipes
