My favorite green is not listed there: leek, I love the green parts (still eat the white part, but later), and raw. Onion leaves as well are excellent. Don't throw them away!
- vram22 6y agoI'm down for anything onion- or garlic-tasting. Not tried onion leaves. Will now. Shallots are great. In Tamil Nadu, called sambar vengayam (sambar onions).
- horns4lyfe 6y agoLeeks confit is one of the most delicious things you can eat. Takes a while, but worth it.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoI rarely have it these days, but back when I ate animals, leek confit simmered in duck fat used to be such a treat for me. They're great simmered in any fat really, but that one always struck me as such an awesome savoury combo.
- horns4lyfe 6y agoAs a meat eater, I need to try that. I've always done it in olive oil, which has the delicious side effect of leaving you with a jar full of leek-flavored olive oil.
- goda90 6y agoThis last fall I planted ramp(a type of wild onion/leek) seeds under some trees in my yard. They take 7 years to finally put out their own seeds, so in the meantime I'm looking forward to carefully harvesting a few leaves each spring, leaving the bulbs alive so they can come back the next year.
- yumraj 6y agoTry garlic leaves also, if you haven't already..
