Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

8 Leeks
Water, stock or a mixture
4 tb Butter
Salt and pepper
Minced parsley for garnish

You can add wine, herbs or cream to this recipe, which should be
served as a side dish to roast meats. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Clean
leeks; remove all withered leaves and trim the roots carefully.
Without cutting entirely through the root, slit the leeks lengthwise
to remove all of the dirt. Trim to a total length of about 8 inches
(save the trimmings for stock). Place the leeks in a baking dish in 1
layer. Pour in enough water or stock to come about halfway up the
leeks. Dot with butter and salt and pepper to taste. Set the baking
dish over high heat on the stove top and bring to a boil. Cover and
braise in oven for 30-to-40 minutes or until the whites of the leeks
are tender. The cover may be left slightly ajar to evaporate some of
the liquid. Sprinkle with butter or minced parsley and serve.
