Categories     Pork     Healthy

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large leeks (about 2¼ lbs.)
½ cup water
1 tbsp. butter, divided
½ tsp. salt, divided
½ tsp. black pepper, divided
2-lb. boneless pork loin, trimmed
½ cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Remove roots and tough upper leaves from leeks. Cut each leek in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into ½ -inch thick slices (should yield about 6 cups). Soak in cold water to loosen dirt. Place sliced leeks, ½ cup water, 1 tsp. butter, ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper in a large Dutch oven or deep sauté pan and place over medium-high heat. Cook 10 minutes or until leek is wilted. Pour leek into a bowl and set aside. Heat remaining butter in pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Add ¼ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper, and wine, and cook 15 seconds, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return sliced leek to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until pork is tender. Remove pork from pan, and increase heat to reduce leek mixture if too watery. Cut pork into ¼-inch thick slices. Serve with leek mixture.
