The leeks below are grilled and then dressed in a walnut vinaigrette while they are still warm. We let them cool them down and press them flat in a vacuum or zip top bag. Then we roll them out to a uniform thickness, freeze them, and portion into rectangles. Now we have a great base for a number of recipes: paired with walnuts and blue cheese, sauteed wild mushrooms, slow cooked salmon with preserved lemons and olives, seared soft shell crabs, fried clam ravigote, steak tartare, the possibilities are endless.
