Fried Leeks (Garnish) image

We like these on all kinds of burgers and fried or baked fish. And potatoes. And garlic bread. And beef. And mushrooms and other veggies. Or atop a salad. (OKAY, already, Sandi!) I have to make at least twice as much as I need to garnish a dish since I eat half of what I make while cooking. And why shouldn't I? I'm cooking! Be sure to stay close when frying leeks because they will burn quickly just to tick you off. The repercussions of an angry leek is just not something you really get over, you know?
