Braised Wild Leeks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

20 wild leeks
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Preparation

Trim the leeks like you would a green onion, retaining the bulb and the leaves.
Rinse thoroughly to wash away any trapped dirt and chop the leaves coarsely.
Pour just enough water in a 10 inch pan to cover the base.
Add the leeks, butter and maple syrup to the water and bring to a boil.
Cover with a tight fitting lid and steam until all the water evaporates.
Remove the lid from the pan and saute for a few more minutes until the leeks are tender.
When ready to serve, the leaves will look(and taste) like cooked spinach.
