Ingredients
- 1 leek
Instructions
- Cut the top dark green portion off the leek (keep the light green and white part of the bulb). Cut the end of the root off as well.
- Clean the leek: Start by slicing the bulb into rings. Add the rings to a colander and use your hands to break up the rings and dislodge any dirt that may be hiding. Let the rings drain (give it a good shake). This method and a second method are illustrated with photos within the blog post.
- Use for any recipe that requires chopped leeks.
