Fab. Thank you for the recipe - it might be extremely simple but it serves as a reminder as to how easy it is to cook this underused vegetable.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for watching! Have a great day!

Good grief, I love leeks. Think they are one of the most underrated vegetables next to shallots and rutabaga. Never braised them; this looks gorgeous, Chef! I have got to make this for Mrs Rivet, next time I grill steaks. What do you think about adding shroomers (porcini's?) to the leftover liquid to make a gravy with? The parmesan was a nice touch. Wow.....all of a suddden I want to make a leek lasagne :)

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I like these with pot roast and celery and carrots too. I think the mushroom gravy sounds great. Thanks for watching and have a great week with Mrs. Rivet!

*Chef Jim - Great Video - Nice camera work and editing!!!! ... Just a FYI - I thought a braise was a slow cook in a COVERED pot - Isnt this more of something called Boiled Leaks?*

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Jim, a braise is frying the food before adding liquid, covering it, and then a allowing to simmer in the liquid until tender. I like to add an additional step of deglazing with the liquid in the pan to add another layer of flavor, but I didn't really capture that in this video. I appreciate the comments, great question. Have a great week and thanks for watching.

Chef in desperate need with another one of your fantastic soup recipes or omelette recipes on you're future projects. I need some hardy food here as I think it will never stop snowing and I need energy to. Shovel. Have removed snow from roof five times so far this winter. Had five feet thick snow load.on roof. Seriously I don't need curtains for my bed room window as view is blocked by huge snow bank. Multiple roof collapses over last month. You would not believe it . Is it the same in your neck of the woods. Again a few hearty recipes that are easy to make please. Cheers from Canada. Province of Quebec.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I have an omelet show planned soon that I know you will love. Yes the snow has been non stop gere in Minnesota as well. Keep a good thought, soon it will be humid and the air full of mosquitos

[@minnesotavaughn6930]

Thanks chef!

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

My pleasure!!

[@cjwworld]

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I appreciate the compliment, I hope you try this recipe out and enjoy it. Thanks for watching and have a great week!

[@cjwworld]

@@anthonyhargis6855 Oh, I forgot about that statement when they complained about the manna, thanks for pointing that out. I haven't heard much about Leeks, its not common, at least around me

[@anthonyhargis6855]

@@cjwworld It's a type of onion, basically, though milder. They can grow to a height of two feet and are still a favored vegetable in Egypt and Palestine. They're usually served as a side dish, like Chef mentions, though they are also used as a seasoning, like onions.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Great in cream of potato soup. Have a great day both of you guys and thaks for watching

great video! thank you.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

You are welcome!

[@juanitamcgary4621]

Hello chef Joh can you please tell me if I can freeze them after I braise them? Thank you

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Thanks for watching, I would not recommend freezing them after braising. Great question!

[@fedor260]

Thanks for the recipe! But my Leeks came out soft, but kind of stringy and difficult to cut. Anyone know what did I do wrong??

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Hmmm...Could be the leeks were old to begin with or they cooked for too long

[@MelsSimpleMeals]

Oo never heard of braised leeks! This video comes at such a perfect time because I was just gifted a bunch of beautiful wild leeks. Definitely not as big as those ones. Can't wait to try this ! Looks delicious:)

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Thanks for watching Mel, I hope you give them a try Have a great week!

[@RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN]

Another delicious dish John.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Thank you sir, have a great week and keep on cooking!

[@anthonyhargis6855]

I knew this was going to be fantastic before I even watched it. How so? First, you were doing the cooking. Second: "The Israelites too began to weep . . . "How fondly we remember the fish . . . the cucumbers, the watermelons, the leeks, the onions, the garlic . . ."" Numbers 11:4, 5. How could it not be delicious? LOL

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

I would be happy to finally get away from Mt. Sinai and finally cross the Jordan river, so I am thinking that having a little meat would appease the rabble. But I am more of a book of Habakkuk kind of guy

[@anthonyhargis6855]

@@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood Habakkuk, eh? Is it the "trusting in God" emphasis, or do you just have a thing for leopards? LOL

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

My horse is a bit faster than a leapord but Jeremiah says that their horses are swifter than eagles. I gave up on leapord print with Edie Gorme...😆😆

he said he got most of the dirt off. I think you should get ALL of the dirt off!!! lol

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

word!

[@oliveknaus]

How about reducing the that liquid adding a touch of cream and pouring them over the leeks

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Many ways to plate this, thanks for your idea!

[@revolution51]

A plumbers favorite way to fix leeks is by braising them.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

That sir, is funny!! Have a great week and thanks for watching
