Ingredients
- 3 whole (white and light green parts) leeks
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 6 whole fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Slice the leeks in half lengthwise, then cut them into 1/2-inch thick half-moons. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or sand, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the leeks to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn slightly golden.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to avoid burning.
Step 7
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, fresh sage leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to release their juices.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter until melted, adding a silky richness to the dish.
Step 10
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 11
Transfer the tomatoes and leeks to a serving platter and garnish with a few extra sage leaves if desired. Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or your favorite grain.
