awesome video!
damn that looks tasty! LOL
L thanx for stopping by, and hope you try the recipe!
Xvoo = eXtra Virgin Olive Oil
TB = Tablespoon
Leeks look like large scallions and are a member of the onion family... When using them you need to rinse well and cut off about 4 inches of the green from the top and discard or use in a stock...
Thanx T... Coming form you that's a real compliment! :)
