Instructions: Cut off the bottom roots and green tops of the leeks. Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Wash well and drain. Boil leeks in a covered pan with salted filtered water until they are tender. Drain thoroughly in a colander. Dry the leeks. In a pan melt butter, making sure not to brown. Add the leeks. Sprinkle with nutmeg, salt. Cook for 1 minute or so over medium high heat.

Leeks enhance the flavor of salmon, tuna, lamb, beef, and chicken dishes.
