This month we are featuring the lovely LEEK. Leeks belong to the onion family and differ in that the leek forms a loose set of leaves around a stalk, instead of packing tightly together like onion. Therefore it is easy for dirt and sand to get trapped in the leaves. Soaking leeks helps remove the trapped dirt and sand. Leeks are one of the national emblems of Wales and is used extensively in that country's cooking. Today I made for you a soup with frozen leeks. I love having a bag of leeks in my freezer ready to go. Leeks are easily grown, so to freeze the excess means you can have your own leeks ready for you at a moments notice. It does not take long for leeks to thaw.
