Leeks (Roasted) ... A Versatile Veg

[a_boleyn]

My Saturday grocery shopping had been skipped and there wasn't much chance that I was going out on Sunday either. I had chicken drumsticks marinating in a spicy Korean mixture with gochujang, garlic, ginger, honey and some other goodies for a type of 'stew'. And, I had some leftover plain white rice that I could serve them with. But what veggie

Oh, we love to grill leeks and serve them with BBQ. Also fantastic in soups and sauces. I am going to try growing some next year!

I made 2 other leeks dishes that I'm going to post soon. It's an under-appreciated vegetable, I think.

Have you ever heard of cardoons?

They do seem to have been forgotten in modern times.

Never! What are cardoons?

I've never tasted it myself but apparently it comes from the artichoke family and tastes similar to celery. I was curious to try it. :)
