Скачать или смотреть Recipe: Leeks Vinaigrette | Andrew Zimmern

Leeks have always seemed like the vegetable world’s middle child: taller than a scallion, humbler than an onion, less glamorous than garlic, and eternally waiting to be noticed. But to those who know, to those who cook, the leek is a quiet seducer. Subtle, elegant, and forgiving, it is the Calvin Klein of the vegetable crisper, nothing flashy, but devastatingly chic when tailored properly. It’s no coincidence that the French, connoisseurs of the understated flourish, made the leek not just a pantry staple, but a national symbol. A vegetable with nationalistic fervor? The tomato can only dream.

No dish so nakedly honors the leek, no plate puts it on the catwalk under full lighting, like the French classic poireaux vinaigrette. Cold, poached leeks with mustard vinaigrette. It is the epitome of the cuisine bourgeoisie: restrained, refined, and requiring impeccable attention. The idea is insultingly simple: take leeks, clean them properly (which is to say, very thoroughly unless you enjoy a mouthful of sandy regret), poach them, chill, and dress. That’s it. No foams. No tweezers. No sous-vide bath drawn by AI robots. Just the vegetables, Dijon, vinegar, and skill.
