Directions:
- Trim leeks about 2 inches beyond the point where the leaves start to darken.
- Trim the root end and cut the leeks in half length-wise and then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place the leek pieces in a large bowl filled with cold water and rinse thoroughly.
- Lift the leeks out of the water (the soil will have sunk to the bottom) and into a colander to drain.
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cream, broth and zest.
- Cover and simmer until the leeks are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and cook until the braising liquid thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately.
