Preparing Leeks
Appears in
Published 1991
Ready-trimmed leeks need little extra washing, but older loose ones sold with long dark green tops may well have a lot of dirt trapped inside. Wash off any obvious mud on the outside and cut off and discard the root and tough tops.
- Slash the leek twice lengthwise from the green tip down to the start of the white stalk. Wash well in at least 2 changes of cold water until all the dirt is removed.
- Cut into 3 or 4 shorter lengths, then slice into thin strips. Alternatively, slice whole leeks across in rounds at 5mm (¼in) or 1cm (½in) intervals.
