Ingredients

4 servings

4 large leeks (about 2 lb), 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 cup dry white wine
½ cup vegetable broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice

For serving

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

Instructions

1
Trim the root ends and dark-green tops from the leeks, leaving only the white and light-green parts. Halve each leek lengthwise, then rinse under cold running water, fanning the layers to remove any grit. Pat dry with a clean towel.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wide sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering. Arrange the leek halves cut-side down in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 4–5 minutes, until the cut sides are golden and lightly caramelized.
