Pickled leeks are a classic Italian side dish. The recipe calls for fresh leeks, white wine vinegar, cloves, salt and white peppercorns. The leeks undergo a short pickling process in vinegar and are then served as a side dish. This preservation method gives the leeks a tangy and delicate flavor. The preparation is very simple and takes only a few minutes.
Carefully clean the leeks and boil them in a pot with slightly salted boiling water
When they are tender, drain them and let them drain well, gently pressing them so that all the water comes out
Lay them on a tea towel and let them dry, then place them in clean jars
Pour into a pot the vinegar needed to fill all the jars used, add a few cloves and some white peppercorns and bring to a boil
Let it boil for a few minutes, then strain the vinegar through a sieve to remove the spices and pour it still hot into the jars with the leeks, covering them completely
Leave the containers open for a whole day, then add more vinegar to replace what was absorbed by the vegetables; finally close the jars and store them
The leeks prepared this way keep for a maximum period of six months
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
Pickled leeks are perfect as a side dish for meats and cheeses.
