How to Clean a Leek
You may be asking yourself right about now: 1) "What is a leek, anyway?" and 2) "Don't you just clean them like any other vegetable?" I am here to answer both questions!
A leek is part of the Amaryllidaceae family and Allioideae subfamily (if you want to get all biological about it), but the simple explanation is that it's a vegetable related to garlic, onion, shallots and scallions. It has a mild onion flavor, but tastes a little fresher, more like a scallion. It's often used in cooking stocks and soups (like my Potage Crécy), but can be used in quiches and salads as well. If you haven't tried a leek, take a test run next time you need an onion!
Leeks, however, can be very dirty and sandy between its layers because of the way it's grown, so you have to do a special cleaning. Below is how I clean a leek. It's quick and easy and is guaranteed to get all of that dirt off of your vegetable!
First, you'll want to trim away the root end and the dark green layers, leaving only the whites and the light green parts. (Many people say that the dark green layers are bitter, but I save and use them for making chicken and beef stock and haven't really noticed.)
Next, you'll want to cut the leek in half lengthwise. You could leave the leek whole at this point if you wanted perfect rings, but it's definitely easier to cut if you halve it.
Slice your leek. I usually slice them into about 1/4" pieces, but feel free to slice them as thick as you'd like, depending on your recipe.
And finally, place them in a large bowl of cold water. Swish them around a bit with your fingers to loosen up the soil. Let them sit for a few minutes. Carefully remove them to a paper towel to drain. All of that dirt and soil should be left behind in the bottom of the bowl!
And now your leeks are clean and ready to go! What is your favorite recipe with leeks?

Great how-to Mindy! I'm usually just rinsing the whole thing under water until I can't see any more dirt - but your way sounds WAY easier and makes a little bit more sense than mine lol
Great step-by-step photos. Thanks for sharing! I am always very intimidated by leeks because I can never seem to get all the sand out. This will be very helpful.

Then again, you will find a numerous reasons a lot of these running watches typically are not economical. Rolex running watches can be with care manufactured to help you transcend maximum traditional in high-quality with the sit back and watch trade. gucci flora replica Through various very simple to use good care, ones own sit back and watch could very well carry on ones own many decades. fake rolex What's more, a lot of these running watches normally hold ones own significance.

Jordan 1 Phat Cool Grey Black, IOS 13 brings a host of new features and the promise of regular software updates.So what not to like? Looking beyond that camera module, the price is an obvious deterrent. What more, despite paying over a lakh, you get a measly 64GB of internal storage. We also wish Apple adds software features like picture in picture that make better use of the big screen.8 iPhone 11The iPhone 11 is a successor to the iPhone XR and the name represents a reset in Apple naming strategy to emphasise that this is the "default" iPhone for everyone..

First, go as flat as possible with a chalky finish such as Little Greene Slaked Lime or Farrow Ball Pointing Estate. Going further, try out samples of off white with the faintest warm ochre or pink undertone. Subtle, tinted off white will counter the celebrated cool Irish light which has a slightly green tinge on all but the most sparkling day. {tag: Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Cream White}
