Sweeter and more delicate than onions, leeks add an intense aromatic flavor to roulades, casseroles, savory pies, creamy soups, broths, pasta, risotto, sauces, stews, roasts, and mixed vegetable side dishes. You can also use it in special meat, fish, and vegetable broths for soups with a distinctly aromatic note. Swap them in place of onions any time a recipe calls for them, or try one of these 10 recipes in which the winter allium stands front and center.
