Steamed leeks with dried fruit vinaigrette

Clean the leeks by opening the green part with a few cuts lengthwise and shaking them well under the sink. Cut the dark green area and keep the white part of the leek and remove the first layer. (The green part will be used for other preparations such as broths, creams, stews...). And we steam the leek for about 15/20 minutes. These have to be well cooked, that is to say that we put a knife and does not offer any resistance. The time may vary depending on the thickness of the same. If you do not have a steamer, you can cook them in boiling water for about 10 minutes. And reserve

For the vinaigrette. First chop the nuts very little so that the texture of the vinaigrette is We put: 3 parts oil 1 part vinegar Handful of nuts Salt That is: for two persons Aove 80ml Balsamic vinegar 25ml Nuts 30/40gr Salt a pinch It is important to first chop the nuts and then add the oil, vinegar and salt. This way we can better control the thickness of the nuts and when we add the oil we will get a visually "cleaner" vinaigrette.

Serve: Cut the leeks in half. Check the temperature, they should be warm, if necessary we can put them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. And put a lot of dried fruit vinaigrette on top. A little coarse salt Black sesame

Since the leeks are cooked, they can be cooked in advance and stored in a tupper. They can serve perfectly as a garnish for fish or meat. If we can not eat nuts we can make a vinaigrette that we like as of peppers and onion. Chives, shallots, mustard etc. etc.

I hope you like it!!!
