Poireaux Vinaigrette

 Poireaux Vinaigrette

For this week’s Meatless Monday, I am sharing with you an iconic French recipe called Poireaux Vinaigrette! I remember it being one of the very first dishes I had when I first moved to Paris 15 years ago! This delicious vegan-friendly recipe could be enjoyed either as a side or simply on its own for a super healthy meal!

Ingredients

  • 4 Leeks (we’re only using the white part)
  • 1 cube low sodium Vegetable stock (optional)
  • 4 tbs olive oil
  • 2 tbs cider vinegar
  • 2 tbs dijon mustard
  • Pinch of Cayenne spice
  • Salt & pepper

How to Make It

Step 1

Wash the leeks
Trim off the roots and the coarse green parts off the top. Do not discard the green parts, I have a delicious tip to share with you down below

Step 2

Place the leeks into a pot and pour the water and the vegetable stock
Cover the pot and cook for 25 minutes

Step 3

Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing the olive oil, cider vinegar, dijon mustard, cayenne and season with salt and pepper

Step 4

Remove the cooked leeks delicately and set on a rack to cool and drain

Step 5

Serve cool, with a generous topping of vinaigrette

*Anti waste tip: do not throw the green parts out, instead, chop them up, give them a quick rinse, place into freezer bags and into the freezer. Next time you make an omelette, take out the frozen leeks, stir fry them and enjoy them with your omelette.
