Leeks!

[thoreau]

I rendered down some leeks in chicken stock and white wine, then added corn, black beans and red/green bell pepper and pan fried it up with the leftover pork from the pizza we had on Friday. I've never cooked with leeks before - they have a very soft flavor - and even won David over, who doesn't care for oniony vegetables usually. (a leek is basically a giant green onion) It was very good - and the house still smells like leeks and white wine and garlic - and thats not bad. :)

Leeks are the Welsh national vegetable: http://www.informationwales.co.uk/

and tend to be confused with an article of clothing. Shakespeare made jokes about Welsh people wearing leeks.

Looks like you came up with a winner. The photo makes me hungry!
