Ingredients

1.5
1 1/2 lb fresh leeks 1.0
1 tbsp Butter, unsalted 0.125
0.125 tsp salt 0.25
0 1/4 cup cold water

Directions

Cut off the roots and dark green tops from leeks. Cut each in half lengthwise first then crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place into a large bowl of cold water to remove sand. Remove leeks by hand into a strainer to drain while leaving the sand at the bottom of the bowl. Rinse under cold water and let drain.
Place all of the ingredients, including the leeks, into a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove cover and let cook another 5 minutes so that all of the liquid has evaporated.
