Instructions

• Position a rack in the centre of the oven and heat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
• Arrange the leek halves cut side down in a snug single layer in a shallow 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the herbs over the leeks. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, wine, and 1 tbsp water and drizzle over the leeks. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Braise the leeks in the oven until tender and easy to pierce with a fork, about 40 minutes. The leeks should be nicely caramelized.
