prassa (leaks)

2 Tablespoons olive oil
6 leeks trimmed of their green tops, washed, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) plum tomatoes, drained
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 medium potato, peeled, cubed
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and onion. Cook, stirring
constantly, 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cook 2 minutes longer. Add the tomatoes to the onion mixture. Stir in
the chicken broth, salt, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer, covered, 40 minutes. Add the potato to the
vegetable mixture. Continue to cook, covered until the potato is tender, about 20 minutes longer. If the
mixture seems too wet, remove the cover, raise the heat, and cook until thickened. Sprinkle with the basil or
parsley before serving. Serves 4-6.
