Leeks Cooked in Milk

Serves 4-8

Ingredients
8 medium leeks
4 tbsp butter
3 cups milk
salt

1. Thoroughly wash the leeks and trim so there are equal amounts of green and white.
2. Put the leeks in a large skillet (2 layers, if needed), and pour in the milk.
3. Bring just to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
4. Transfer leeks to a serving dish (without the milk), melt the butter on top, and salt to taste.
