A Recipe for
Leeks In Red Wine
“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

He who eats alone chokes alone. |
| Proverb |
Heat oil in a large skillet: the skillet must be large enough to hold
the leeks in a single layer. Add leeks & saute until lightly browned
on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add a little wine or broth if they
stick.
Add the remaining wine & broth & bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat &
simer for 10 minutes, turning the leeks once during this time.
Transfer leeks to a serving dish. Cook sauce a few minutes more to
reduce & then pour over the leeks & serve. This is good hot, tepid or
cold.
