Lovely Leeks

Last fall the leeks weren't large enough to harvest so we left them in the ground to over-winter. It was really nice to go be able to pick a leek in the middle of winter. Now that it's spring, they are a decent size and are actually crowding each other out a bit. On Sunday night I pulled four good-sized leeks and used them in a curry. It's a nice change from onions as they are sweeter and retain their shape and colour a bit when cooked.
