Leeks Grilled

Leeks are more delicately flavored, milder and more subtle than onions, and can be used in place of onions in almost any dish.

1 Bunch of Leeks


Preparation:

Slice trimmed leeks in half lengthwise and rinse well. Steam them, cut side down, until barely tender, then brush with olive oil and season with salt. Grill on both sides until light grill marks appear, turning as necessary. Serve with extra virgin olive oil mixed with finely chopped parsley or basil spooned over the leeks, or serve them with a mustard vinaigrette.



Sweet!
