I do sometimes buy the ready washed and trimmed packs - yes, they are a little more expensive but sometimes can be handy.<br />It's great to swap leeks for onions or indeed onions for leeks sometimes. I think we are so fortunate to have a good supply of vegetables ... there are many who don't have this choice.<br /><br />Do hope your November has started well.<br /><br />Good wishes to you ... and hubs.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-49697115370119751052015-11-02T01:59:14.196+00:002015-11-02T01:59:14.196+00:00Such a pretty dish!!

They are a bit difficult to wash. Sometimes I end up disassembling the entire leek to get all the soil out. They have a mild flavor and I use them with other vegetables or potatoes.

We have been fortunate to enjoy some sunshine today, although many parts of the UK have experienced fog.<br /><br />Hope next week is a good one for you.<br /><br />All the best Jan Lowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-38420983716746678512015-11-01T18:38:56.956+00:002015-11-01T18:38:56.956+00:00Jo
