Leeks and Carrots in Chardonnay Cream Sauce image

I came up with this on my own. I was inspired by a couple different leek recipes on. My touch is the rosemary, wine and bacon. Turned out delicious and thought I'd share. Delicious side dish.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch leek, carefully cleaned and sliced
3 carrots, peeled, sliced and thinly sliced into circles
1 slice bacon, fried, crumpled and set aside
1 tablespoon bacon drippings, reserved
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1/2 cup Chardonnay wine
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Using bacon drippings, sauté leeks, carrots and rosemary until leeks are opaque. About 15 minute.
  • Deglaze pan with half of the wine and simmer until reduced and cooked into the leeks(about 10 minutes).
  • Add the cream and simmer, covered, until leeks and carrots are tender.
  • Add the remaining wine and bacon that had been set aside and simmer until reduced to desired consistency and tenderness.
  • This takes me about 20 minutes as we like our leeks really tender, but the carrots turn out al-dente.
  • **NOTE: If you prefer carrots that are softer, then parboil them prior to sautéing.
  • The timing is an estimate as I really wasn't planning on posting this, but after we ate it I figured it deserved a place on here :-). ENJOY!
