Categories     Onions

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

20 wild leeks
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Steps:

  • Trim the leeks like you would a green onion, retaining the bulb and the leaves.
  • Rinse thoroughly to wash away any trapped dirt and chop the leaves coarsely.
  • Pour just enough water in a 10 inch pan to cover the base.
  • Add the leeks, butter and maple syrup to the water and bring to a boil.
  • Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam until all the water evaporates.
  • Remove the lid from the pan and sauté for a few more minutes until the leeks are tender.
  • When ready to serve, the leaves will look(and taste) like cooked spinach.
