Suggested Recipes
Preparation:
Trim leeks, leaving white and light green parts only; remove tough outer leaves. Holding leeks by root ends, swish in cold water to remove any hidden dirt. Cut in half lengthwise; cut in half crosswise. Place in ovenproof skillet just large enough to hold leeks. Cover with 2/3 cup (150 mL) water; dot with butter. Cover and simmer over medium heat until just tender, about 10 minutes.
Uncover; bring to boil. Boil until liquid is reduced to 2 tbsp (25 mL), about 5 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Reheat.)
Spoon liquid over leeks; sprinkle with cheese. Broil until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
