Leeks have a delicious oniony flavor and they are so wonderful in this side dish. The mustard sauce compliments the leeks flavor well and it goes well with many main dishes. Ingredients:
10 medium leeks (white portion only) |
2 green onions with tops, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
mustard sauce: |
3 egg yolks |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
6 tablespoons cold butter |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
dash white pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut leeks into 1-1/2-in. slices, then julienne. In a large skillet, saute leeks, onions and garlic in oil until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, water and lemon juice. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture begins to thicken, bubbles around the edges and reaches 160°, about 20 minutes. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in mustard and pepper.
3. Transfer leek mixture to a serving bowl; top with mustard sauce. Yield: 6-8 servings (3/4 cup sauce).
