What are the best tips for cooking leeks?

Grit hides between layers — split and wash thoroughly. White and light green parts are the prize. Dark greens are for stock.

How do you roast leeks?

Roast at 30–20 min. Halved lengthwise. Caramelized and sweet.

Braise at 40–32 min. In broth with white wine. Meltingly tender.

Sauté at 6–8 min. Sliced into half-moons. Butter and thyme.

Grill at 5–7 min, turning. Halved. Oil well. Nice char marks.
