Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup walnuts
6 large leeks
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 cloves garlic, grated
⅓ cup coarsely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place walnuts on a baking sheet.
  • Trim ends of leeks around 1 to 2 inches from dark green tops and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; rinse.
  • Place leeks into a large pot of lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast walnuts in the preheated oven, tossing halfway through, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes; coarsely chop. Toss in a bowl with oil and salt. Drain leeks.
  • Whisk vinegar, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and garlic together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place leeks on a platter and drizzle on vinaigrette, toasted walnuts, tarragon, and pepper.

Not my favorite recipe. The leeks were tough and the dressing was too oily.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think it would be better suited for a more experienced cook.

I thought this dish was just okay. The leeks were a bit too strong for my taste and the dressing was a little bland.

This was a great recipe! I used a mix of baby leeks and regular leeks, and it turned out perfectly. The dressing was also very good.
