Ingredients

• 3 Leeks
• ¼ cup Mustard vinaigrette
• Salt to taste
• Ground white pepper to taste
• ½ cup Olive oil 
• ½ cup Red wine vinegar
• 2 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbsp OMG 

Directions

1. Trim the root hairs and green ends from the leeks.
2. Split each leek in half lengthwise, leaving root ends and the outer layer of leek intact.
3. Give the leeks a good rinse under running water, holding the leeks so that the water runs from root downward to flush out any dirt.
4. Fill a skillet large enough to fit the leeks in a single layer with salted water and bring to boil.
5. Add the leeks and reduce the heat to a low simmer for 10 minutes, covered, or until the leeks are just tender.
6. Remove the leeks carefully to a deep baking tray or container and shock with iced water or cold running water.
7. Drain the leek well, cut faces down on a rack to remove any excess moisture.
8. Peel away the tough outer layer of leek and lay the cooled and drained leeks on a platter.
9. Season with salt, white pepper, and the mustard vinaigrette.  Enjoy lightly chilled.
