Rosh HaShanah Recipes
Leeks
Hebrew word for leek is a pun on another Hebrew word which means "to be cut off" -- "our enemies will be cut off". This recipe creates a flavorful plate of "cut off enemies" to be consumed by the righteousness of G-d which removes our enemies and increases our family.
Sauted Leeks
Ingredients:
2 ½ lbs leeks
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
½ teaspoon salt, to taste
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons solidified olive oil*
1 cup Vegetable or No Chicken Chicken broth
*Pour an amount of olive oil into a wide mouth glass jar - a small Mason jar works great - cover and place into refrigerator at least overnight (until firm).
Directions:
1. Carefully clean leeks; keep the white and light green parts, cut off the roots and the dark green leaves, (Dirt is always between the leaves, so wash them out well).
2. Cut leeks first into 1 inch lengths. Then cut lengthwise in quarters.
3. Preheat heavy wide saucepan or saute pan to 375. You can test for this by dropping a few drops of water into the pan, they should sizzle, and dissappear - they may "dance" or "roll" around as well.
4. Add oil to preheated pan. Once melted add leeks, garlic and pepper, and stir over low heat for 5 minutes.
5. Add broth and bring to boil, cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, for about 10 to 15 minutes or until leeks are tender.
6. Raise heat to medium, uncover and let juices reduce to about half.
7. Be careful not to let burn.
8. Taste, add salt as need and adjust seasoning, serve hot.
