You may not think of leeks as their own dish, as they are usually there to add layers of flavor to whatever you’re making. However, when braised they become super soft and buttery, making a superstar side dish.
4 leeks, sliced in half lengthwise and washed well
fresh thyme sprigs, optional
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon Tuscanini Olive Oil, divided
2 tablespoons white wine, such as Tuscanini
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup Gefen Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Arrange leeks, cut side down, in a snug single layer in a shallow 9×13-inch baking dish. Nestle thyme sprigs among the leeks. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup olive oil and wine and drizzle over leeks. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and braise in the oven until completely fork tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to braise until the leeks are caramelized, another 10 to 15 minutes. Remove thyme and discard.
Toss bread crumbs with remaining tablespoon of olive oil to coat. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for five to eight minutes, until crisp.
Transfer leeks to a serving platter and spoon braising liquid over them. Toss bread crumbs with parsley and sprinkle over leeks just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
