Oh I will definitely try this even if it's only for me! Harry says he doesn't like leeks! It's taken me years to get him to like onions but he still says he doesn't like leeks....yet!

You could use onions instead of leeks I guess.

this sounds delish, hazel. i love leeks but i never knew how to prepare them and i yet have to come across any decent instructions on it, the same with artichoke.

I just chop off the top of the leek where the dark green is, then cut in half lengthways, then cut across so I end up with half circle shape pieces of leeks. Have to be careful soil has not got into the layers!
