I have leeks that are two years old and have no idea what to do with them? Could someone help. Almost decided to toss them in the compost. Debk
What do I do with these?
I grew leeks last year, wasn't too impressed with the flavor. I used mine in stir fry, soup, stew. If yours aren't woody they should be ok. Are they making seed stalks? If so, they will be interesting to see.
If I leave my leeks too long, they generally have a hard stem in the center, which I just discard, and use the rest.
If they are not woody, I'd make potato-leek soup. I also have a great recipe that uses leeks with pork chops...
Thank you both for the info. Darius would you mind giving me the recipes for the soup and chops. Thanks Deb
Deb, here's the pork recipe:

As to the leek and potato soup (vichyssoise), my favorite recipe is in the NY Times Cookbook, which is packed. I have learned to cut down the heavy cream and use more chicken stock and milk. You should be able to find a good one online...
