pickled leek

Another leek recipe, this springs from the Danish penchant for pickles. The leeks remain raw and crunchy.

2/3 cup sugar
200 ml vinegar
1 bay leaf
5 peppercorns
2 leeks, cleaned and finely chopped

Heat everything up except the leeks in a pot and put aside.

Lightly salt the leeks and stand for 20 mins, press well dry with paper towels. Add the pickling liquid and stand a half hour.
