Preparation
Wash leeks thoroughly by soaking in cold water for 10 minutes. Rinse
leeks and cut into 3-inch (8cm) pieces, using both the green and white parts. Run more cold
water over the cut leeks to remove all dirt and grit.
Heat oil in a 12-inch (30cm) skillet. Place leeks in skillet and cook,
uncovered, turning occasionally for about 15 minutes. The leeks should turn slightly brown and
tender.
Pour water into skillet and turn heat to low. Add salt and cover.
Continue to simmer covered for 20 minutes, until leeks are tender.
Remove leeks from pan, and garnish with a Tbsp (18g) of the prepared
horseradish sauce.
