Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large leeks, well trimmed, about 3/4 pound
3 large, unblemished endives
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cut the leeks lengthwise, leaving the trimmed stem ends intact. Rinse well between the leaves. Drain well. Chop the leeks to make very small cubes. There should be about 2 cups.
  • Trim off the ends of the endives. Cut each crosswise into thin slices. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet and add the leeks. Cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes without browning.
  • Add the endives and sprinkle with lemon juice. Add salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, about 1 minute. Cover closely and cook 5 minutes.
  • Add the cream and nutmeg and stir. Serve piping hot.

I love the combination of leeks and endives in this dish. They have a slightly bitter flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce.

This is a simple yet elegant side dish. The leeks and endives cook until tender, and the cream sauce is rich and flavorful. I served it with grilled salmon, and it was a hit!
