Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium leeks, trimmed and cleaned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornichons, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the leeks by trimming the root end and dark green tops, leaving about 4 inches of the white and light green parts. Slice them in half lengthwise and rinse under cold water.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the leeks and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.
- Drain the leeks and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled egg, capers, cornichons, parsley, and tarragon. Fold in some of the vinaigrette until well coated.
- Once the leeks have cooled, drain and pat them dry. Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Top with Sauce Gribiche.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a starter or side dish.
