Instructies

  • Wash the leeks but only cut off the dark green. Just leave the root and outer leaves on.
  • Place the leeks under the grill. Turn every 10 minutes so that the leek is blackened all over. After 15 minutes, the kitchen starts to smell like leeks.
  • Are the leeks completely black? Then serve them on a plate and give everyone a sharp knife.
  • Cut open the leek and remove the light green leek, cooked in its own leaf. Drizzle over some vinaigrette or olive oil. Enjoy your dinner
