Plugging the Leek
Some non-culinary adventurous people fear the vegetables that lurk at the edge of the produce section. You know they are vegetables, and probably good for you. But you hesitate to buy them because you don’t know how to cook them, or you fear what they might taste like once you put them on the table.
Leeks are one of those vegetables.
They are stately, upright stalks that look a bit like green onions on steroids. They are, in fact, related to the onion, belonging to the allium family of vegetables.
