The plants are soaking up all this sunshine, though we’re still waiting on the strawberries and tomatoes to ripen. if you follow us on social media you know that we should be including them next week. The tomatoes should be shortly after that. We’ve included three members of the allium family- green garlic, green onions, and leeks. The green onions have tubular leaves, and the leeks and garlic have flat leaves. The leaves of the green garlic are spicier than the leek leaves, which have a more onion-like flavor. We recommend slicing the leeks very thinly, especially to cut through the firmness of the flowering stalk, and then also finely chopping the leaves and flowering head. then sauteeing everything until golden brown. You can also put the leeks in a food processor or blender and then carmelizing to achieve a spreadable consistency, perfect for sandwiches or burgers. We hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
caramelized leeks
Heat the 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add all the leeks sliced and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes more.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. We love it on a sandwich or burger.
