Sautéed Green Apples and Leeks
By: justcallmetoni

Found this German recipe on one of my favorite vegetarian websites. Leeks & apples go quite well together so I'm looking forward to trying this. When i do get to it, I'm thinking of adding a bit of fresh sage. Posted for the Zaar World Tour
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 2 large leeks, white parts only
- 2 teaspoons margarine or butter, preferably unsalted (divided)
- 2 large granny smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
1
Split the leeks in half lengthwise and trim the bottoms, leaving a little of the root end intact so that they stay together. Wash well several times and dry. Cut lengthwise into thin strips, about 2 inches long.2
In a medium skillet (nonstick is best) over medium heat, melt teaspoon of margarine. Add the leeks and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.3
In the same pan, melt the remaining teaspoon of margarine and add the apple slices. Turn the heat to high and cook until the apples are lightly browned and softened, about 3 minutes.4
Return the leeks to the pan and toss together to combine.5
Serve immediately.

Very tasty! I used one granny smith apple and one gala apple. It was simple and quick to make. I used a lot more butter than called for, because I misread the recipe. I think it would still taste great with the amount of butter in the recipe. Reviewed for ZWT 4, 2008.

Delicious! I took your suggestion to heart and added some fresh sage. I sauteed in butter and added some garlic with the leeks. This is a lovely accompaniment to a roast. Thanks, Toni!

The recipe iswonderfult the way it is - the leeks & apples compliment each other and no other flavor is needed. Quick & easy to make too. Because I cut the leeks quite fine I did not saute them ahead of the apples but did both together. They were perfect. I served them with rice, meatballs, new baby carrots & salsa. This recipe would be perfect with a pork roast or ham. Thanks toni for sharing this tasty recipe and adding a new vegetable combination for me to enjoy

A vegetable taste sensation! And so simple to make. I'll be making this often. I do hope that you've tried this one by now, toni! I followed your suggestion of adding some sage, and I also added 2 cloves of minced garlic (with the leeks) and in step 4, on a sudden whim, I added a teaspoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of brown sugar. Thanks for sharing this most unusual and fabulous recipe, one I'll keep in mind for dinner parties. It would go so well with any meat dishes, especially pork dishes.
