INSTRUCTIONS

You can add wine, herbs or cream to this recipe, which should be served as
a side dish to roast meats. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Clean leeks; remove all
withered leaves and trim the roots carefully. Without cutting entirely
through the root, slit the leeks lengthwise to remove all of the dirt. Trim
to a total length of about 8 inches (save the trimmings for stock). Place
the leeks in a baking dish in 1 layer. Pour in enough water or stock to
come about halfway up the leeks. Dot with butter and salt and pepper to
taste. Set the baking dish over high heat on the stove top and bring to a
boil. Cover and braise in oven for 30-to-40 minutes or until the whites of
the leeks are tender. The cover may be left slightly ajar to evaporate some
of the liquid. Sprinkle with butter or minced parsley and serve.
