Leek
Used in 2 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Leeks are the mild, sweet member of the onion family, with long white shafts that soften into silky ribbons and a gentle flavour that rarely turns sharp the way onion can. This page covers leeks of any size, including the single large leek some recipes call for. Sweated slowly, they give Smoked Haddock Chowder a soft, sweet base that suits the smoked fish, and the green tops are worth adding to Vegetable Stock. Grit hides between the layers: slice first, then swirl the pieces in a bowl of cold water and lift them out, leaving the soil behind. Choose firm leeks with plenty of white and fresh, unwilted tops.

Smoked Haddock Chowder
Undyed smoked haddock poached in milk, with that milk becoming the soup and floury potato doing the thickening in place of flour.

Vegetable Stock
A light stock of leek, carrot, celery and onion simmered for only forty minutes, because long cooking turns vegetable stock bitter.
