YUM!

Ignorance again--what exactly is a leek? Isn't it like an onion?

THANKS!

Yep..

Leeks are long and cylindrical, with white bottoms,
and large leathery leaves on top.
(You only eat the white parts)

Leeks can contain alot of sand between their layers, so they must be rinsed out very well..
Chop off the dark green leaves, then slice the leeks lengthwise, and rinse under water..they have alot of layers like onions, but not so tightly packed..
