Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sprig fresh thyme
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Coarse salt
6 medium leeks, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise and rinsed well
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons finely shredded (about 1/2 lemon total) lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the poached leeks: Bring thyme, lemon juice, a large pinch of salt, and 5 quarts water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add leeks; reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer leeks to paper towels to drain; discard thyme and cooking liquid. Transfer leeks to a platter.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together mustard and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour vinaigrette over leeks. Let stand 30 minutes.
