How To Make brussels sprouts leaves with leeks

  • Step 1
    Take the Brussels sprouts and peel the leaves off all the way down to the middle, then cut the core and discard. Continue until you have a whole pile of leaves.
  • Step 2
    Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet and add the Brussels leaves, and add some salt. Cook, stirring about 5 minutes until they are brown and wilted. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Add the remaining butter and the oil to the skillet and add the leeks. Cover and cook, stirring over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then take the lid off and cook another 6 to 8 minutes until very soft and silky.
  • Step 4
    Add Brussels leaves back to the pan with the white wine.
  • Step 5
    Once the wine has been absorbed, add the heavy cream. Stir until the cream is absorbed, then transfer to a plate and add the toasted pecans and Parmesan cheese.
