From Gourmet Magazine October 1992, this is a really nice side dish served alongside pork. It reheats well too.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this dish. The tarragon and tomatoes really helped to balance out the flavor of the leeks.

I made this dish exactly as the recipe said and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more tarragon.
