Preparation

  1. Cook the leeks

    10 min

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the leeks and sear until lightly golden, turning once. Add a splash of water, cover, and cook until tender. Remove the lid once cooked.

    Check doneness with a knife for a soft texture.

  2. Prepare the vinaigrette

    3 min

    In a small bowl, combine apricot vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in olive oil until emulsified.

    Add the oil slowly for a smooth vinaigrette.

  3. Assemble

    2 min

    Arrange the leeks on a plate, drizzle with vinaigrette, and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately.

    Serve warm for the best flavor.
