How to make Miso Braised Leeks

Our braised leeks recipe makes a delicious side dish. Cooking the leeks with white wine, chicken stock, and parsley makes them meltingly tender in 25 minutes.

These delicious melt-in-your-mouth soft braised leeks are easy to prepare and make the perfect vegan side dish to accompany your roast lunch or on top of a jacket potato or even on toast!

My friend Elizabeth tells me that even people who think they don't like leeks like this dish. The leeks are braised in wine and water or stock until soft and golden, then topped with Parmesan and run under a broiler, so you get a crunchy layer on top of soft cooked leeks. One of the tricks here is to discard the outer layers that become papery when you cook them, so that the whole leek will be soft and easy to cut through.

Braised leeks drizzled with a rich French butter sauce—aka beurre blanc—make an elegant side dish for your holiday table.

This is a really special dish. In fact, I think it may be the most gorgeous recipe I have ever developed. It makes a beautiful starter or small plate.
