In markets and supermarkets, leeks are easy to identify, as they resemble large chives. This is not surprising, as leeks are closely related to onions and garlic. As it doesn’t have a strong smell or particularly strong taste, it has a very tasty compensation: it works as a star in very special dishes. With it you can make soups, pies, salads and gratins that will surprise your family.
