A vegetarian favorite! If you’re looking for a veggie that adds an onion flavor to your dishes, leek is the best option. Leeks have the general appearance of a giant green onion with a thick, white stalk that’s cylindrical in shape and a slightly bulbous root end. The broad, dark green leaves wrap tightly around each other like a rolled newspaper. Its aroma is strong and sure to kick up the flavors in any dish you add them too.
