Braised Leeks with Smoked Bacon and Tomato

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. 2

   Trim the root off the end of the leeks and cut off all but 1 inch of the green part.

3. 3

   Halve the leeks lengthwise.

4. 4

   Rinse really well under cool water, checking for dirt everywhere; it gets trapped in all the outer layers.

5. 5

   Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and drizzle with a 2-count of olive oil.

6. 6

   Add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes to render down the fat.

7. 7

   Add the garlic and thyme and give it a stir.

8. 8

   Arrange the leeks side by side in the pan and pour the tomatoes on top.

9. 9

   Season with salt and pepper, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
