Disappointing
I noticed sand on some leaves so cleaned the leeks thoroughly,almost leaf by leaf, but the dish was still full of very fine grit. Would not buy these again

Horribly gritty
Even after halving and properly cleaning, these remain gritty and nasty. Good for budgies to grind in their beaks perhaps.

Sand? Grit?
Prepared as usual and washed thoroughly BUT tiny bits of grit / sand remained. Upon reflection I would have needed to almost 'destroy' the leek to clean it. Not for us!
Recipes

Cumin-flavoured Puy Lentils with Leeks, Courgettes and Peas
Quick to cook up, this dish works because the naturally delicious flavours of the ingredients are allowed to shine through without being concealed. The spices add a delicate and delicious edge which infuse exciting flavours into the dish, and the cumin-flavoured lentils are a tasty take on plainer, pasta-based dishes.

Simon Hulstone's Sea Bass with Prawn Tortellini
This dish is not for the faint hearted and the final stages of this recipe may require an extra hand. Commitment will be rewarded by a sublime dish which sums up the brilliance of contemporary British cooking.

Roast Chicken Casserole
With its colourful vegetables - orange baby carrots, green asparagus tips and white baby onions - and tasty roast chicken chunks, this easy and simple dish makes a great family meal.

Mexican Chicken Pie
Pastry is an essential part of a good pie, we have decided to mix things up slightly, by using filo pastry. Other alternatives may include, puff pastry, short crust or why not be different and use dauphinoise potatoes on top. We gave the chicken pie a Mexican touch with our Mexican Chilli Paste and chorizo chunks to add to the texture. Perfect for a midweek or weekend treat.

Very good quality and taste
I normally don't buy baby veg but leeks at this season are very large and can be bitter. These are wonderfully sweet and tasty, eaten braised, fried, steamed or in a stir fry. I'd just like to know where they are sourced to avoid excessive food miles. Re earlier moaners, no sign of any sand or grit and if I ate any there was no ill effect. What is the problem with washing them, anyway? I always wash everything. And why is a semicolon an invalid character in the Ocado review system?
