Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2: Carrots,
2 Stalk: celery,
4 Sprigs: thyme,
1/2 cup: Loosely packed flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, Plus 4 sprigs
1: Bay leaf,
1 tbsp: Black peppercorns,
8 small: Slender leeks, about 2 lb
Salt,
1 tbsp: Red-wine vinegar,
2 tbsp: Fresh lemon juice,
3 tbsp: Olive oil,
2 tbsp: Pink peppercorns, slightly crushed
Freshly ground pepper,
Directions:
1. Fill a large saucepan with water. Add carrots, celery, thyme,
parsley sprigs, bay leaf, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is flavorful, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut off all dark-green tops and toots of leeks. Slice
leeks in half lengthwise, leaving a little attached at root end to
hold them together. Soak in cold water until free of sand. (If leeks
are not sandy, leave whole.)
2. Return liquid to a boil, and add leeks and salt to taste. Cook
gently until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove leeks from liquid, and
drain well.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, and olive
oil. Add chopped parsley and pink peppercorns. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Toss leeks with vinaigrette; arrange on a platter.
