👨🍳 Chef’s Tip:
Don’t throw away the dark green tops! They’re excellent for stocks, soups and slow-cooked dishes. Slice the leek lengthways and rinse between the layers before cooking, as a little soil can hide inside.
📦 Storage:
Keep refrigerated and preferably unwashed until needed. Store loosely wrapped or in the vegetable drawer to prevent it from drying out.
