Many of Chef Dominique Crenn’s recipes include a bit of allium in the preparation or the final dressing. This recipe showcases the full range of allium flavors, from the natural sweetness of leeks to the pungency of garlic to the freshness of chives. Learn how to confit leeks, then serve them with a beautiful béarnaise sauce.

Cooking the leeks in this way gently softens them without coloring, and releases their allium flavor into the oil. Blending the confit leeks with cream creates a lovely sauce to bring the whole dish together, which could easily stand as a substitute for gravy alongside your choice of protein. If you can’t find puy lentils, then swap them out for other lentils, such as green or beluga. Serve this dish warm or at room temperature, and eat alongside some roasted potatoes, if you like.

This stunning verdant green leek dish makes a superb vegetarian main course if you are looking to impress. The confit leeks are melt in mouth, while the maitake mushrooms (also known as hen of the woods) provide an almost meaty texture. The recipe makes more oil than you need, but it can be frozen to reserve the bright green colouring.

georgie mullen on Instagram: "It’s my second instalment of seasonal spotlight: LEEKS ✨ and today we have a rather gorgeous small plate - braised leeks with lime pickle yoghurt.

Here I’ve served them with a lime pickle yoghurt (life-changing!) and a spiced tempering butter (also life-changing!). Personally, I would serve this…

Leeks slow-cooked in olive oil star in this hearty vegetarian main of lentils, lemon and herbs. These confit leeks are roasted and softened without browning, slowly releasing their flavor into the oil. The mixture could be spooned over baked potatoes or roasted chicken, but the lentils give the dish heft and bite, and the leek cream makes it extra special. If you can’t find French lentils, you can easily substitute other green or beluga lentils, or pearl barley or other grains. Serve this…

Leeks are part of the onion family, but they are different than scallions or the onions we all know and love. While other members of the allium family can be eaten raw, leeks must be cooked for two reasons: to bring out their subtle flavors and break down their fibrous texture. In this recipe for leek confit they’re cooked very gently for 30 minutes with just salt, pepper, olive oil, and thyme until they transform into a silkier, more concentrated version of themselves.
