Ingredients

4 servings

4 medium leeks (white and light-green parts only)
H-E-B Fresh Leeks Fresh Organic Leeks Leek Cal Organic Farms Leeks, Organic Leeks
See all
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp honey
¾ cup bone broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
¼ tsp ground turmeric

For serving

1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Trim the root ends and dark-green tops from the leeks, leaving only the white and light-green portions. Halve each leek lengthwise, then rinse thoroughly under cold running water, fanning the layers to remove any grit. Pat dry with paper towels.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the leek halves cut-side down in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the cut faces are golden and lightly caramelized.
