Baby leek
A slender, tender leek, to serve whole, grilled or with vinaigrette.
The baby leek is harvested young, when its stem is still as thin as a pencil. Tender from end to end, it offers a mild, sweet flavour, less sulphurous than that of a mature leek. It is cooked whole, grilled, poached or braised, and lends itself to elegant plating.
