Creamed Leek Greens
Like creamed spinach, Creamed Leek Greens are endlessly versatile: delicious as a side dish or stretched with a little pasta water and paired with peas over orecchiette; swirled into a frittata with ricotta cheese; or chilled and spread on crackers. I use ground coriander instead of the more expected nutmeg.

Dill-and-Leek-Greens Pesto
The leek greens give this herbal paste a little bit of heat. Use as you would any pesto. It’s especially good whisked together with a little sharp pickle brine to serve over smashed potatoes or smoked fish.

Blanched Leek Greens
When blanched, leek greens taste like chives, although they chew like a rubber hose! You need to chop or puree them to eat them. Once you do, you can transform the greens into Dill-and-Leek-Greens Pesto to top crispy potatoes or make into Creamed Leek Greens, a great stand-in for spinach at your next Thanksgiving meal.

Wine-Braised Leeks
Leeks release a good deal of their own water when they cook. They reduce considerably in volume and swim in their own fragrant broth by the end. Keep a stash of these on hand to layer on sandwiches, serve alongside chicken legs, or stuff into a quiche. You can easy double the recipe (increasing the cooking time by half) and freeze extra cooked leeks for later use.
I like the crunch of whole spices, so I scatter the peppercorns and coriander seeds among the leeks. If you’d rather contain them to remove them after cooking, first tie them in a cheesecloth sachet.
