A Recipe for
Leeks In Olive Oil
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |

Trim leeks. Remove a few of the outer layers. Slice 3/4" thick,
discard tough green leaves. Wash well in several changes of water.
In a heavy skillet, heat olive oil. Stir in leeks & carrots. Cover &
cook very gently for 30 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally.
Blend in the remaining ingredients in order. Cover & simmer for 30
minutes, checking the liquid. Add more water if necessary. When
fully cooked, it should be very moist but not watery. Serve cold with
lemon juice.
Serve as part of a buffet including other vegetable dishes.
