Take a Leek

Sorry. I cannot resist potty humor.


So, you've got some leeks. Excellent! You are in for a sweet and subtle oniony treat.

Now what?


Leeks need trimming. Cut off the bottom of the leek, just above the root hairs. Cut off the top of the leek, just below the "V" shaped base of the dark green leaves. Slice the remaining white/pale green shaft of leek down the center, in preparation for the next step.


Wash the leek. Make sure the water flows in between the many layers of leek. Those nooks and crannies can hold a lot of sand.

And now you're good to go!

  2. Hello, I never cease to be amazed by your hard-working and responsibility. If your work is very important the quality of your galvanized helpers. In fact, as I understand that for every self-respecting farmer, it is very important to have a place to put your harvest metal galvanized bucket http://www.apromera.com/.
