Ad | Ever tried crispy battered #leeks? Try my beer battered leeks for @Britishleeks. Not only do they taste rather good, but they’re teamed with a moreish creamy leek ranch sauce that uses the whole leek, reducing food waste. Recipe in comments.

Happy St David's Day/ Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant hapus! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ✨ Welsh folklore tells us that the humble leek can repel evil spirits, alleviate childbirth pains, predict the future, protect in battle, even shelter from lightning. A handy vegetable! #StDavidsDay #DyddGŵylDewiHapus #Wales

This is my favorite way of preparing Leeks and one that I go to over and over again. Leeks are incredibly versatile, adding unique, sweet, and mild oniony flavor to a huge range of dishes. This is a simple winter one-pan meal recipe you can prepare easily.

#Leeks, that belong to the same family as onions, shallots, scallions, chives, & garlic, are high in #provitaminA #carotenoids, including beta carotene which are important for vision & immune function. They are also high in #VitaminC, #manganese, and other #antioxidants.
