Most leek recipes call for a lengthwise cut, but we just love the cute circles. The raisins really make it pop. This is particularly good with fish. Serves 4-6
Confetti Leeks with Golden Raisins Recipe
Author: Rebecca Cofiño for Mamguru
Ingredients
- 3 leeks
- 1-2 T olive oil
- 1 T butter
- ⅓ c golden raisins (regular raisins work too)
- sea salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Cut off the very bottom bulb of each leek and about 3 inches from the top and discard. Thinly slice leeks crosswise, forming circles.
- Place leeks in a very large bowl of water and swish around. Gently poke the white circles to separate circles. After a few minutes carefully remove the leeks from the water, leaving the sand and grit settled at the bottom of the bowl. Use a salad spinner to dry leeks.
- Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over a medium-high flame. Add leeks and a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
- Add raisins and butter. Turn off heat. Stir, cooking over residual heat for another minute. Enjoy.
