1 bunch leeks
extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chop off the stringy roots and dark green leaves.
You won't use the tough tops in most leek recipes, but I love to save them for vegetable stock.
Slice the leeks in half lengthwise.
Lay them cut-side-down on a cutting board, and cut them into thin half-moons.
Transfer to a colander and rinse under cool running water, tossing to remove any dirt or debris.
Use a kitchen towel to blot them dry before you start to cook.
