Leek

Leeks are an elegant member of the onion family, love rich Tasmanian soil and add a subtle flavour to dishes - they are delicious in their own right. Clean thoroughly to remove any grit and cook them until just tender.

They can be boiled, steamed, char-grilled, fried and are great in soups, tarts and stews.
