Directions:
1. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped leeks and saute, stirring occasionally, until they turn bright green and begin to become tender. Remove from the pan and set aside to slightly cool.
2. Put the oil, vinegar, honey, and seasoning in a screw top jar and shake to mix. Pour over the leeks, toss to mix, and leave to marinate for 2 hours.
