Ingredients

  • Leeks, 7 stalks, rinsed and cleaned
  • Artichoke hearts
  • Garlic powder
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Heavy cream (or half and half, depending on the fat content you want)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

I made this as a side for Thanksgiving in place of the usual green beans.

  1. Slice the cleaned leeks into generous strips.
  2. In a large pan, heat olive oil. Sweat leeks in hot oil with a pinch of salt.
  3. When leaks are wilted, add artichokes.
  4. Add 3/4 cup cream and lower to low-medium heat. Stir.
  5. When the sauce is to a thick consistency, season with a pinch of garlic powder, parmesan cheese and pepper.
  6. Serves 4-5.
