I like cooking Danish recipes. Danes use leeks a lot compared with here on the left side of the Atlantic. They are cheap in Denmark, but really quite expensive here and not always available. I'm looking for a good substitute. Sure, sometimes regular onions make a good substitute, but what would be closest in flavour to leeks? I have read that shallots come closest in flavour and that scallions (the long, thin, green onions) are also a good substitute.
Any suggestions? Any experience with substitutes?
