Leek Recipes

Leeks are an extremely versatile vegetable. The veggie is known to add a mild sweet twist to a variety of dishes, making them a great choice for cooking.

Some of the most popular cooking methods include:

Sautéing - Sauté sliced leeks in olive oil or butter until they become tender to enhance their natural sweet flavour.

Grilling - Perfect for barbeques or alongside a variety of main dishes. Gently brush leeks with olive oil and sprinkle with preferred seasonings. Grill until they develop a charred and smoky flavour.

Leeks are best kept in the fridge. They tend to take up a lot of space so we’d recommend cutting off the green leaves above the base of the leek before you store it, leaving only the white bulb and light green parts.

These are usually too tough to eat, so you won’t be needing them unless you plan on using them to enhance the flavours in the soup. Leeks collect dirt between their layers so it’s important to rinse this away with running water.
