Leeks from the Saturday market
The farmer's stall has dirt on everything. That is how you know.
Maja Lindqvist
There are two vegetable stalls at the square. One has shiny trays and plastic bags. The other has a man in a wool hat and leeks with soil still in the roots. I always go to the second one.
The leeks are long and pale and need washing three times. They taste sweeter than the ones from the shop and keep a week longer in the cellar.
What I make
Leek and potato soup on the same evening. Leek pie on the next. By day three everyone is tired of leeks and I am already planning the next Saturday.
