For any of you lucky enough to have access to wild leeks. Based on a recipe from Harrowsmith. Very simple.
Ingredients:
20 wild leeks
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Directions:
1. Trim the leeks like you would a green onion, retaining the bulb and the leaves.
2. Rinse thoroughly to wash away any trapped dirt and chop the leaves coarsely.
3. Pour just enough water in a 10 inch pan to cover the base.
4. Add the leeks, butter and maple syrup to the water and bring to a boil.
5. Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam until all the water evaporates.
6. Remove the lid from the pan and sauté for a few more minutes until the leeks are tender.
7. When ready to serve, the leaves will look(and taste) like cooked spinach.
