Creamed Leeks Recipe
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 leeks – white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir leeks just until softened, about 8 minutes. Pour water and wine into skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until leeks are very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Remove cover, increase heat to high, and cook leek mixture, stirring constantly, until liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir cream into leek mixture. Cook leeks, stirring, until mixture begins to thicken; stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
