Top 10: Recipes with leeks

Vegetables

Leek season is upon us so get inventive with these recipes which prove there is more to this vegetable than just potato & leek soup!

Leeks are widely used soups and stews, often as a foil to potatoes. But this vegetable, which hails from the allium family along with onions and garlic, shouldn't just be relegated to a supporting actor role. So follow the lead of the Spanish, for whom they are an essential ingredient, and give them the prominence they deserve. Try making them the star in a leek quiche or serving them with a vinaigrette and hard boiled egg. If that all sounds a bit ambitious to start with, we've also looked out some recipes where they play a lesser but still delicious role.
