*Cleaning leeks:
- *You need to thoroughly clean the leek. First, wash the outside of the leek. Then slice off the fibrous green top, leaving the white to light-green stalk. Cut leek in half down to the root. Don’t cut all the way through the root at this point. Then clean both “halves” under running tap water to remove any dirt that has accumulated inside. For this recipe, slice the cleaned halves down to where it’s attached to the root, and discard the root.
