LEEKS, ALONG WITH GARLIC AND ONIONS, ARE PART OF THE VEGETABLE GENUS ALLIUM. ALTHOUGH THEIR TASTE IS GENTLER AND SWEETER THAN ONIONS, THEY STILL RETAIN MANY OF THE HEALTH-PROMOTING NUTRIENTS FOUND IN THEIR MORE ROBUSTLY FLAVOURED COUNTERPARTS. THE WORD ‘ALLIUM’ ORIGINATES FROM THE GREED WORD FOR GARLIC.

Ingredients

  • 500 g baby leeks
  • 10 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • ¼ cup

  2. Arrange the leeks snugly in a baking dish.
  3. Tuck the thyme sprigs in between and around the leeks.
  4. Pour over the olive oil and white wine.
