FRIED LEEKS (GARNISH)
We like these on all kinds of burgers and fried or baked fish. And potatoes. And garlic bread. And beef. And mushrooms and other veggies. Or atop a salad. (OKAY, already, Sandi!) I have to make at least twice as much as I need to garnish a dish since I eat half of what I make while cooking. And why shouldn't I? I'm cooking! Be sure to stay close when frying leeks because they will burn quickly just to tick you off. The repercussions of an angry leek is just not something you really get over, you know?

Steps:
- Cut leeks lengthwise into thin strips. Wash leeks and drain. Dry well between layers of paper towels.
- In a saucepan at least 3 ½ inches deep, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees. Working in very small batches fry leeks (oil will bubble up quite high) until golden, about 10-15 seconds, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to dry. Season leeks with salt.
- Leeks may be fried a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Serve on top of soup.

COLCANNON WITH CRISPY LEEKS
An Irish dish of mashed potatoes and greens, colcannon is one of the most nourishing, comforting dishes you could make. The fried leeks aren't traditional: Usually, the alliums are stewed more slowly in butter, if they're used at all. But they lend a deeper flavor, and a crisp, savory finish. For a full meal, crown it with a fried egg or some smoked salmon, or serve a simple green salad on the side. (This recipe is part of the From the Pantry series, started in the days after the coronavirus lockdown.)

Steps:
- In a medium pot, combine the potatoes with enough water to cover them by 2 inches and a large pinch of salt. Boil until tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter, along with a drizzle of oil, then add leeks and a pinch of salt. Sauté over medium heat for 5 or so minutes. When the leeks are golden, spoon some out onto a plate to use for garnish.
- To the leeks in the pan, add the garlic cloves, and cook them for a minute until fragrant. Then, toss in the greens. Season with more salt and cook, tossing them, until the greens are wilted and very tender. If the pan looks dry, add a splash of water.
- Now add the potatoes to the skillet and mash them (so they're either smooth or chunky), and add some milk or vegetable broth, if you like, and a lot of butter. Taste, and add more salt and lots of pepper. Scatter on the fried leeks and more butter to melt in little pools across the top.
- Top with a fried egg or some smoked salmon, or serve a simple green salad on the side.

Steps:
- The day before you want to serve this dish, cut the leeks from top to root and wash thoroughly under cold running water. Thinly slice them on the diagonal and put into plastic bags and chill until ready to cook.
- To serve, put a large pan over a medium heat, add the butter and let it melt over the base of the pan. Add the leeks and plenty of seasoning and stir to coat in the butter. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan and cook the leeks gently for about 15 minutes, stirring half way through until they are tender. Serve with extra butter and a sprinkling of thyme leaves.
