Looking for a recipe for leeks cooked in strong British mustard
I was served a delicious hot side dish on, of all things, a Virgin Atlantic flight from the UK to SF. It had chopped leeks and was cooked in a strong British mustard.
I've searched the internet and can't find a recipe. Anyone have an idea of how it was prepared?

There was a piece in the times a few years ago about braised leeks with a strong Dijon vinaigrette. I can't find the exact article and I know that the below link is not exactly it but it seems close. Try it and swap English mustard for the Dijon.
