French Braised Leeks image

My Parisian friend shared his yummy recipe of Braised Leeks. The OJ and balsalmic vinegar bring out the sweetness of the leeks. I like to double the sauce to serve on the side as well. Great elegant side dish for a brunch or dinner. Enjoy!

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and herbs to the sauce, and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the leeks. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, but the leeks never softened. I ended up throwing them out.

This recipe was a disaster. The leeks were overcooked and the sauce was watery. I had to throw the whole thing out.
