Leeks: Preparing and cooking



Trim roots and any wilted green ends; remove toughest outer layer.

Chop or slice and rinse thoroughly in cold running water to remove any grit or sand.

Leeks are ideal in sauces, dressed vegetable dishes, soups, casseroles and stir-fries. With potatoes, they're the key ingredients in the classic chilled soup, vichyssoise.

Many other leek-based dishes can be found in the cuisines of Britain, northern Europe and the Middle East.
