Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Braised Leeks & Carrots with Lemon 4 small or 3 medium leeks, tough outer leaves discarded and leeks trimmed to about 7 inches long and cut lengthwise into quarters or eighths 3-4 carrots cut lengthwise into quarters 3 tablespoons [vegan margarine, unsalted if possible] 1 cup [vegan chicken-like broth, or broth of your choice] 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest In a shallow dish, soak leeks in cold water to cover 15 minutes, rubbing occasionally to remove any grit. In a heavy skillet melt [margarine] over moderate heat, lift leeks out of the water and with water still clinging to them add to skillet. Cook leeks and carrots, stirring occasionally, five minutes and add broth and zest. Braise leeks, covered, 5 minutes, or until very tender, and season with salt and pepper. Serve covered with liquid from braising pan. *Previously posted to Christian Vegan Cooking by Denise C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
