Leeks are a stem vegetable belonging to the Alliaceae family (like onions and garlic). This vegetable consists of a white stem (the most tender and prized part) and green leaves, the centre of which is also tender. It is appreciated for its mild, slightly sweet flavour after cooking. Culinary uses: Leeks can be used in a variety of ways when cooked: ► Starters: Essential for preparing classic leeks with vinaigrette (boiled or steamed). ► Soups and cream soups: An ideal base for potages, vegetable soups and the famous vichyssoise (cold leek and potato soup). ► Side dish: Can be braised, steamed in butter or cooked in cream to accompany fish or white meat. ► Mixed dishes: Used as a filling for quiches, savoury tarts or to stuff fish. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. Keep cool (ideally in the refrigerator). ► Preparation: Remove any damaged green ends and the root. Split the white part and wash thoroughly between the leaves to remove any soil and sand before cooking. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
