Leeks with Mustard in Microwave

This is very quick and can be blended with mashed potatoes. Eaten regularly Leeks are believed to help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Leeks are usually sold in groups of 3 or 4 and the best ones have a long white base. Leeks are high in carbohydrates and fibre, low in fat and have no starch. They are also high in thiamine, vitamin B6 and folate.

The green tops of the leeks have more flavour and are great in soups. They are loaded with vitamins C and A, key anticarcinogens, as well as beta carotene. The oils in leeks(and onions) appear to lower blood cholesterol levels.
