How to cook deliciously - Creamed Leeks

1. Stage

Trim the leeks and remove the tough outer leaves. Slice the white and light green part into 1/4-inch rings, put them into a large bowl of water and swish gently to remove any dirt or sand; drain in a colander.

2. Stage

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter. Add leeks and cook until they are just starting to get tender and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

3. Stage

Stir together whipping cream and Dijon mustard and pour into the skillet, stirring until well incorporated. Reduce heat to low and simmer until leeks are tender but still crisp, 6 to 8 minutes (don't overcook). Season with salt and pepper and remove skillet from heat.

4. Stage

Sprinkle with nutmeg and Parmesan cheese; serve immediately
