Steps:
- Trim the dark green leaves from the leeks, and save for another use (such as making soup).
- Split the leeks lengthwise, wash, blot dry and slice thinly; you’ll have about 1 1/2cups.
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Saute the leeks, stirring often, just until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Remove and set aside half the leeks.
- Add carrots, 1/2 cup water and the maple syrup to the skillet.
- Simmer, covered just until the carrots are tender, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Add the salt.
- Stir in the reserved leeks and serve.
