Cooking what's in the garden.....in season.....is how I love to cook
and besides crisp lettuce, leeks are ready and delicious!!
no trans or saturated fat.........
2g of dietary fiber...
30% Vitamin A
18% Vitamin C
even some Calcium at 5% along with 10% Iron
all in leeks........
sauteed quickly with some mushrooms in olive oil.........
just to where the leeks get softened
serve with rice, roasted potatoes and (optional) strips of beef from the roast you had the night before.......
yum

Oh that looks wonderful! My husband loves cooking with leeks but I don't think he is growing them this year. My kids asked for Jicima but we don't live in the tropics, we live in Iowa! I'm lucky my kids eat anything!
ReplyDeleteI never think to buy leeks! My daughter in law is Cambodian and she cooks with so many veggies - I'll make this for my family. Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI do love leeks.
ReplyDeleteI just became fast friends with the leek last week! It was fun to clean. :)
ReplyDeleteYum!! I love fresh anything especially if it's local!!!
