Fresh leeks from the Netherlands, sold by the kilo. Leeks are part of the onion family, with long white shafts and dark-green tops, and they have a sweet, mild and delicate onion flavour that becomes soft and silky when cooked. Use the white and pale-green parts, slicing them and rinsing well, as soil can collect between the layers. Leeks are the star of classic leek and potato soup and vichyssoise, and add gentle sweetness to pies, quiches, risottos, gratins, casseroles and pasta. Try them braised in butter, grilled until charred, or baked in a cheese sauce. The darker tops are great for making stock. Leeks provide vitamin K, vitamin A, folate and fibre. Store unwashed and loosely wrapped in the fridge and use within one to two weeks. Carefully selected and quality-checked by Prana, and delivered fresh to your door. Sold per kg.
