Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

the white and pale green part of 4 leeks (about 1 pound), trimmed, left whole, and each leek slit down one side to within 1 inch of the base
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon drained bottled horseradish, or to taste
3 tablespoons grated Gruyère

Steps:

  • In a large bowl of cold water fan out the leaves of the leaks and rinse them well until there is no grit. In a large skillet heat the butter over moderate heat until the foam begins to subside, add the leeks, patted dry, and toss them to coat them with the butter. Add the broth and the cream, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the leeks are very tender. Transfer the leeks with a slotted spatula to a gratin dish. Stir the horseradish into the liquid remaining in the skillet and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the leeks, sprinkle it with Gruyère, and broil the leeks under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is golden.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover leeks. I had a bunch of leeks that were starting to wilt, and this dish was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of horseradish, so I used a little less than the recipe called for. It was still plenty flavorful, and the leeks were still creamy and delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the creamed leeks turned out perfectly. They were creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy.

I'm not usually a fan of horseradish, but this dish was surprisingly delicious. The creaminess of the leeks balanced out the spice perfectly.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The creamed leeks were so smooth and flavorful, and the horseradish added a perfect amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.
