Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium leeks (3 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
2 oz thinly sliced pancetta, chilled
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Cut off dark green tops of leeks and trim root ends. Halve each leek lengthwise to within 2 inches of root end. Rinse well under cold running water to wash away sand. Cover leeks with cold water in a 12-inch heavy skillet. Add salt and simmer leeks, uncovered, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer leeks to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • While leeks simmer, finely chop pancetta, then cook in 1 tablespoon oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until emulsified. Add leeks and gently toss to coat. Serve topped with pancetta and parsley.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover leeks. I always have a bunch in my fridge and now I know what to do with them.

I'm not usually a fan of leeks, but this recipe changed my mind. The vinaigrette really brings out their flavor.

The leeks were a bit too tough for my liking, but the vinaigrette was spot-on. I'll definitely try this recipe again with softer leeks.

This leek vinaigrette was a delightful surprise! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a subtle sweetness from the leeks and a tangy kick from the vinaigrette.
