Closer to Fall
by Linda Dansbury

It is almost fall, and the change in veggies is showing this! Greens are back in full force plus some other delicious things.

Leeks - Leeks are alliums, so they’re related to garlic, chives, shallots, and onions. Tasting them, you can tell. They have a sweet, oniony flavor that adds depth to soups, stews, pastas, and more! Use them as you do onions and shallots, to build flavor at the start of a recipe. However, because they’re milder than most other alliums, you can also enjoy them on their own. Grilled or roasted, they make a surprising, delicious side dish. Leeks store fairly well in plastic in the fridge. Try the Braised Salmon with Leeks early this week, and by the weekend, you can go for the Potato Leek Chowder recipe on this site.
