French Braised Leeks

Recipe #365243 | 35 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Sweet'n'Spicy Chef
Apr 9, 2009

My Parisian friend shared his yummy recipe of Braised Leeks. The OJ and balsalmic vinegar bring out the sweetness of the leeks. I like to double the sauce to serve on the side as well. Great elegant side dish for a brunch or dinner. Enjoy!
