What to do with Leeks?
June 4th, 2009 at 4:27am |
What would you do if you were faced with an enormous quantity of leeks? I have pounds and pounds of them. They seem to grow everywhere, in my yard, in my veggie garden, in the flowerbeds…and they multiply!! I cannot ever imagine using all of them (or even most of them!).
I’d love to know any of your favorite ways to use them. You’re welcome to leave recipe links from your own blog in the comments section. Thanks for the help!
I tried a leek/arugula soup today. It was ok, but bland. I’ve made leek tarts, which I liked but the rest of the household wasn’t crazy about them. Of course I’ll try a leek and potato soup. After that, I’m out of ideas!

I have a great leek, barley and short rib soup recipe. I guess it’s more wintery, but it freezes well so it might be something worth making now. I know I’m late on this comment too, but even if your leeks are gone maybe you can use it next year! I also love that it uses short ribs because I never know what to do with those (we get a lot when we buy a side of beef). Using the short ribs creates a really flavorful broth. Here’s the link:
