chicken en cocotte with mushrooms, leeks, and chives

Steve C. (Q&A ID 17651)

I have a question about this recipe. It says to slice the leeks crosswise but how? Into 1" rounds? In half? Does it matter? I'm going to cook this today so a little quick advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Steve -

The recipe calls for slicing the leeks crosswise into rings, but you could also cut them in half lengthwise and then slice into half moons. This would create a flat end that might make it a little easier to slice.

Hope that helps!
