Bring leeks in from the sidelines for Thanksgiving
Leeks too often are a sideshow. They are given bit parts in other dishes, usually a soup or a saute. And in the process, all that is wonderful about leeks is lost.
So this Thanksgiving, we decided to gives leeks the star treatment. They are deliciously sweet, yet pair wonderfully with so many savory ingredients. They also are easy to cook. Like onions, they will caramelize and soften over a gentle heat with little effort by the cook. We top our buttered leeks with thinly sliced apple-chicken sausage, a nice accompaniment to the rest of the Thanksgiving meal.
