Steps
- 1Begin by preheating a grill to high heat. Clean the leeks by rinsing off any sand and dirt, then drying them gently. Place the leeks directly on the grill grate without adding oil. Grill the leeks, rotating them every couple of minutes using tongs, until the outer layer is charred completely. This process should take around 12 to 16 minutes. The leeks will begin to soften and might release some juices as they cook.
- 2Place the leeks onto a cutting board and allow them to sit for 10 minutes. This resting period will enable the leeks to continue steaming internally, resulting in further softening as they cool down.
