Ingredients

6 leeks
4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons caraway seeds, slightly crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup dry vermouth

Steps:

Trim the tops and greens off the leeks. Cut the white section in half lengthwise and wash thoroughly under cold running water. Slice diagonally into quarter-inch pieces.
Heat the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, caraway seeds, salt and pepper and cook until the leeks are soft, about two to four minutes. Add the vermouth, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for three to five minutes, until the leeks are tender. Serve immediately.
