Leeks are too delicious to stand only as an enhancement. Here, they're the star of a side dish, with a bit of French flair. —Chuck Mallory, Chicago, Illinois

Test Kitchen tips

Leeks are part of the onion family, although their flavor is much more subtle.

To prepare leeks, cut off the roots and trim the tough leaf ends. Slit the leek from end to end and wash thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt trapped between the layers of leaves.
