Vegetables and herbs have a long history of use by man. Leeks for instance, are said to have been utilized by humans for over 3000 years. Cooking leeks is easy-eating this delicious herb is easier. But preparing leeks prior to cooking is an entirely different matter. In fact, some people find cleaning leeks a bit gruesome.
Leeks, or Allium porrum, are sweet member of the onion family that are wildly popular in many parts of the world including their native Mediterranean and Asian areas. Leeks are available all year round in most places making them the ideal ingredient to use for making a variety of salads, soups, and stews. You can also use the dark green leaves of leeks for making soup stock.
Sublimely elegant, supremely simple and surprisingly simple sauteed leeks will easily become a favorite because they are both slightly familiar in flavor and at the same time unique. Leeks have a very mild onion and vaguely garlic flavor to them but only enough so that if you pay attention you recognize the taste but not so strong that you eating onions.
