Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 leeks, (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
4 cups reduced-sodium canned chicken broth
2 tablespoons cold butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Remove outer leaves; cut dark-green ends from leeks. Trim roots, keeping leaves attached. Halve lengthwise; rinse to remove grit.
  • Bring broth to a boil in a large skillet. Add leeks; cover, and cook over medium-low heat, turning once, until easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 25 minutes. Using tongs, transfer leeks to a platter.
  • Boil broth until reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter; swirl to melt. Add parsley; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over leeks.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The leeks were mushy and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The leeks were a bit tough, even after cooking them for the full amount of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

Not bad, but I think I would have liked it better with a different sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The leeks were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! The leeks are always so tender and flavorful. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes or rice, but they would also be great on their own.

These braised leeks were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The leeks were tender and the sauce was creamy and rich. I will definitely be making this dish again.

The leeks were delicious! I made a few changes to the recipe, but the overall result was still amazing. I used chicken broth instead of water, and I added a bit of white wine. I also cooked the leeks for a little longer than the recipe called for, ju
