One thing that makes me nervous about cooking with leeks is throwing away the majestic, green tops, since most recipes only call for the more tender, white parts of the leek. (golubkakitchen.com)
Slice the white parts of the leeks in half vertically and place into the sink or a large bowl and cover with water. (golubkakitchen.com)
For this recipe, I used the white parts of leeks + celery, and I added a cup of kale in the blender too. (wellandfull.com)
