GLAZED LEEKS WITH PINE NUT SALSA VERDE
It's ideal to serve these leeks warm (the smell just out of the oven is amazing), but they can also be made a few hours ahead and served at room temperature.

Steps:
- Trim root ends of leeks (leave as intact as possible so they don't break apart while cooking) and cook in a large pot of boiling salted water until meltingly tender (a paring knife should slide through the thickest part with no resistance), 15-20 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and let cool.
- Meanwhile, bring chile, honey, ¾ cup vinegar, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Halve leeks lengthwise and transfer to a serving dish with high sides (you want the glaze to cover leeks enough to coat). Pour warm vinegar mixture over leeks and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
- Toss pine nuts, parsley, oil, capers, and remaining 2 Tbsp. vinegar in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, give leeks another toss in the glaze; spoon pine nut salsa verde over.
