Leeks are the perfect pairing with squash and sweet potatoes. The mild, onion like flavor doesn’t tend to over power, but instead accompanies each dish with the perfect amount of flavor. The one main difference between leeks and onions is the layers often hid little crevices of dirt. Cleaning a leek before you use it is an important step (link below.) Leeks can last a few weeks in the refrigerator (they like the cold!)
