Instructions: Rinse leeks very thoroughly, then cut in half lengthwise. Rinse leek halves, separating layers to wash out dirt; then cut crosswise in 1-inch thick slices. Melt butter in large, heavy skillet over medium heat; add leeks & sprinkle with brown sugar, several grates of nutmeg & generous grindings of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until leeks are caramelized on the outside. When edges are as brown as desired, serve.

Makes 6 servings.
