Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus some for baking
  • 8 leeks, outer leaves peeled away, root end trimmed and each leek cut into 1-inch pieces, using the white or light green part
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon pear champagne vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Pour a little olive oil into a gratin or shallow baking dish. Stand all the leek pieces on end and pack them in so that they completely cover the bottom of the gratin dish. They should be tightly packed. Drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with some salt and pepper and place in the center of the oven.
  2. Bake for 20 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons olive oil with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Whisk together and spoon over the hot leeks. Let stand for 5–10 minutes before serving.
