Market tips...

Fried shallots are delicious and crunchy served sprinkled over salads, steamed vegies, stir fries and noodle dishes. Once opened keep them in an airtight container in the fridge so they remain crisp and crunchy!

Leeks can have dirt trapped in their layers, so it’s important to wash them thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthways, then trim off the roots at base. Place in a large bowl or sink of water to soak, turning them upside down to soak the green ends as well. Discard water and repeat several times until all dirt has been removed.
