Side Dish 25 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 3 large leeks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • sprinkle of freshly-ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Trim the leeks and remove the tough outer leaves. Slice the white and light green part into 1/4-inch rings, put them into a large bowl of water and swish gently to remove any dirt or sand; drain in a colander.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter. Add leeks and cook until they are just starting to get tender and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Stir together whipping cream and Dijon mustard and pour into the skillet, stirring until well incorporated. Reduce heat to low and simmer until leeks are tender but still crisp, 6 to 8 minutes (don't overcook). Season with salt and pepper and remove skillet from heat.
  • Sprinkle with nutmeg and Parmesan cheese; serve immediately
