I use about half of the green part — the lighter green part. Otherwise I throw the rest away, although I think they could be tasty in a stock (of course you strain them out of the stock before you use it).

So you throw away the rest of the green part? Or is there something you can do with it?

MMMM!! I love leeks! I boil them till tender(chopped leeks…1 cm pieces), drain them. Then, put them back in the pan…add butter, salt, pepper, some capfuls of vinegar, then thicken it with corstarch and sometimes milk. Basically, it is creamed leeks!
