Ingredients

  • 10 leeks, the same size and not too large
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 glass

Method

Trim the leeks and wash well. Drain and shake them as dry as possible. Heat the oil in a wide shallow pan with room for all the leeks side by side. Gently brown them all over, pour on the wine and let it bubble a minute or two. Add salt and boiling stock or water, cover the pan and cook until the leeks are tender (test by piercing the root end with a sharp knife).
