Saturday at the Farmers' Market

Here's a different way to prepare leeks, other than to use them in soup. Enjoy!

September Leeks

2 large leeks, well washed and sliced
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon raisins
Sea salt to taste
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons soft butter

Place the leeks, water and raisins in a saucepan; cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt. Mix flour and butter together and gradually whisk into the leeks. Heat, stirring, until mixture thickens. Serves four.
