LEEKS IN RED WINE

      Title: LEEKS IN RED WINE
  Categories: Side dish, Vegetarian
       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       2 tb Olive oil
       3 lb Small leeks, cleaned &
            -- trimmed
       1 c  Dry red wine
     1/2 c  Vegetable broth
  
   Heat oil in a large skillet: the skillet must be large enough to hold
   the leeks in a single layer.  Add leeks & saute until lightly browned
   on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add a little wine or broth if they
   stick.
   
   Add the remaining wine & broth & bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat &
   simer for 10 minutes, turning the leeks once during this time.
   
   Transfer leeks to a serving dish.  Cook sauce a few minutes more to
   reduce & then pour over the leeks & serve. This is good hot, tepid or
   cold.
