By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 1 leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced into very thin 2-inch-long strips, washed thoroughly, and dried
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Toss leeks, flour, and pinch each salt and pepper in medium bowl. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet until shimmering. Add half of leeks and fry, stirring often, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer leeks to paper towel–lined plate; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat with remaining leeks.
