Spring Vegetable Ragout
- 3 leeks, medium, white & pale green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup water
- 6 ounces sugar snap peas, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon mined fresh herb, whatever you have handy
- Soak leeks in cold water 5 minutes; lift out and drain.
- Repeat until no grit remains on bottom of bowl.
- Set aside (I usually skip this step because the leeks I get usually aren't that dirty).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add leeks and salt and saute until leeks are tender, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in asparagus, then water.
- Simmer covered for 2 minutes.
- Add snap peas and radishes, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes more.
- Stir in mustard until well combined, then swirl in butter and herbs.
- Serve immediately.
