FRIZZLED LEEKS
Steps:
- Cut leeks lengthwise into thin strips. Wash leeks and drain. Dry well between layers of paper towels.
- In a saucepan at least 3 ½ inches deep, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees. Working in very small batches fry leeks (oil will bubble up quite high) until golden, about 10-15 seconds, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to dry. Season leeks with salt.
- Leeks may be fried a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Serve on top of soup.
