·      5 large leeks

·      4 T butter

·      Spices: coriander, cumin, pepper, and salt

Slice leeks in half, rinse thoroughly, cut into 1” slices and rinse again (leeks are quite sandy). Place slices in a baking dish with butter and spices. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until leeks are tender. Or:  Melt butter in a large pan, cook leeks on gentle heat for 15 minutes or until tender, stirring only often enough to prevent burning.
