Leeks Strip Pack
3 FOR £10
Leek 'Musselburgh' is a popular variety of leek that is known for its large size, excellent flavour, and hardiness. It is a heritage variety that has been grown for over 150 years and is still a favourite among gardeners and cooks today.
Leeks are typically harvested in the coldest months and can be used in soups, stews, and as a side dish for meats and vegetables. They are also commonly used in Scottish cuisine, where they are a traditional ingredient in many dishes. My favourite is to bake them in the oven covered in cheese sauce and used to top a jacket potato.
One of the main benefits of 'Musselburgh' leeks is their hardiness. They are able to withstand cold temperatures and frost, which makes them a great choice for gardeners in cooler climates. They are also relatively easy to grow and can be cultivated in a variety of soil types and conditions. To store in a freezer simply wash , allow to dry off and then cut into 1cm wide chunks and tip into a freezer bag. They can be used in cooking directly from the freezer with no need to defrost first.
Overall, Leek 'Musselburgh' is a versatile and reliable variety of leek that is well-suited for a variety of culinary and gardening needs. Its large size, excellent flavour, and hardiness make it a favourite among gardeners and cooks alike.
