Any body any ideas what to do with the last of last years' leeks? Some small, some smaller.

Leek quiche? Or small tartlets. Or creamy leeks on a home-made pizza base. (All of these freeze.)

The thin ones can be braised and served cool as a starter (deglaze with something like balsamic or sherry vinegar & a little sugar). Slice the bigger ones into rings, braise (covered) with butter & a little water; add cheese to finish or not, as the fancy takes you.

I bet there's a leek chutney recipe out there somewhere, but I've never come across one! (But what about leek marmalade, made the same way as onion marmalade?)
