Leek sauce is a savory condiment made primarily from leeks, which are gently cooked to release their mild, onion-like flavor and blended with ingredients such as butter, cream, or olive oil for richness. It may also include garlic, herbs, and spices for added depth. Commonly associated with European cuisine, particularly French and British cooking, leek sauce is a versatile addition to dishes like roasted meats, fish, pasta, or vegetables. Leeks are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and antioxidants, making them a nutritious base for the sauce. However, depending on the recipe, the inclusion of cream and butter can increase the dish’s fat and calorie content, so it may be best enjoyed in moderation. For a lighter version, olive oil can be used as a healthier alternative to dairy while still enhancing the sauce’s creamy texture.
