Maple Carrots With Leeks

1. 1

   Trim the dark green leaves from the leeks, and save for another use (such as making soup).

3. 3

   Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Saute the leeks, stirring often, just until softened, about 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove and set aside half the leeks.

6. 6

   Add carrots, 1/2 cup water and the maple syrup to the skillet.

7. 7

   Simmer, covered just until the carrots are tender, 15 to 17 minutes.

8. 8

   Add the salt.

9. 9

   Stir in the reserved leeks and serve.
