Braised Leeks
2-3 large leeks, cut in half, tops removed
Olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp. white Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tbsp. butter
Cut leeks in half or quarters if they are very large.
In a heavy frying pan, over moderately high heat, place leeks cut side down in a small amount of olive oil and caramelize. About 18-20 minutes.
When leeks are browned and caramelized, add wine, lemon, soy, and Worcestershire.
Simmer for another 5-7 minutes or until reduced by half.
Add butter and stir to incorporate. Serve immediately.
