French Braised Leeks image

My Parisian friend shared his yummy recipe of Braised Leeks. The OJ and balsalmic vinegar bring out the sweetness of the leeks. I like to double the sauce to serve on the side as well. Great elegant side dish for a brunch or dinner. Enjoy!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover leeks. I had a few that were starting to wilt, and this dish gave them new life.

These leeks were a hit! They were so tender and flavorful. I served them as a side dish with roasted chicken, and they were the perfect complement.
