  • @MinttMeringue
    @MinttMeringue 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Been cutting leeks for awhile as they're a favorite veggie of mine. My best friend was judging me for cutting off the very top (I actually keep some of the dark green part) so I'm very glad to prove her wrong haha!!

  • @lwgg742

      Zshuzshem-up...we use it all the time here in Africa/Cape Town...it’s like mix-it up or blend it if you’re using a blender etc...or make it look yourself look good (clean-up) if you dressing up say for a quick impromptu get together!!! Fun, useful word...

    I bought a leek from my Coles two weeks because I’ve always wanted to know what it taste like. However, I had no idea what to do with it.
    Now I kinda do.
    Half moon the bad boy and add it to the pot with lamb, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms.
    See how we go.
