Lovely Leeks

Leeks are very long here. There's plenty of light green and white parts. Here is a lovely specimen:


I might be remembering incorrectly, but in the US, the leeks are a lot shorter and consequently there's a lot less light green and white bits.

I used this one in variable roasted vegetables from Just Hungry. I used butternut squash, fennel, leek, broccoli, and garlic. About ten minutes from the end I added some diced smoked sausage and before serving topped with Pecorino Romano. Eaten with some pumpkin seed bread.

We do have pictures from our Lugano trip, but right now we're trying to get through the busy part of the week.
