Leeks · uncommon
King Richard
An early variety with exceptionally long, slender white stems. Matures faster than most leeks and is mild enough to use raw in salads if you're feeling continental. Not as winter-hardy as Musselburgh, but makes up for it in speed.

Leeks vinaigrette
Simmer whole leeks until just tender, drain, and dress warm with a mustardy vinaigrette. A French bistro classic that elevates the humble leek to starring role.
