Braised Leeks

Directions

1. 1
   Trim and rinse the leeks, discarding the roots and all but an inch or two of the green.
2. 2
   Place the leeks in a skillet or casserole dish and add the stock, wine, butter, salt and pepper to taste.
3. 3
   If necessary, add a little water so that the liquid comes about halfway up the leeks.
4. 4
   Place on top of the stove and bring to a boil.
5. 5
   Lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 15 minutes.
6. 6
   Turn the leeks and continue to simmer until they are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more.
7. 7
   (Add a little more water if they become dry.)
8. 8
   Serve immediately.
