These leeks were delicious! I loved the tangy lemon flavor and the tender texture of the leeks. I served them with grilled salmon, and they were the perfect accompaniment.

This dish was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The leeks were incredibly tender and flavorful. I especially liked the crispy bits that formed on the edges.

I'm a big fan of leeks, and this recipe really showcased their unique flavor. The braising process brought out their natural sweetness, and the lemon added a nice brightness. I'll definitely be making this again.

These braised leeks were a delightful surprise! The combination of tangy lemon and rich, caramelized leeks was divine. I served them as a side dish to roasted chicken, and they were a hit.
