Grilled leeks

Leeks are often used “in” something like soups, rice dishes or couscous for example. My preparation lets the leeks shine and that kiss from the grill makes them the perfect accompaniment with most any protein you’ve got planned for an upcoming BBQ. Such a versatile veggie and one that needs to be enjoyed “stand alone” more often! See notes for a couple tips and enjoy!

Grilled leeks bring color, flavor, texture, and plain old-fashioned delight to any grilled meal. Plus, they're easy to make, and delicious to eat.

I love everything about it, from the salty capers to the fragrant aniseed of the dill and the delicate sweetness of the poached leeks.

Adapted for enjoying at home, this is not quite mimosa and not quite gribiche, the other, chunkier, French eggy vinaigrette, but whatever it is, it’s delicious, no matter where on Earth you are.

These smoked and roasted leeks are rubbed with homemade Raz el Hanout spice for a delicious vegan side dish.

We like the texture of the leeks and zucchini when left al dente-if grilled too long, they'll both go floppy.

Grilled leeks are simple to prepare, and their mildly sweet flavor complements just about anything else you can put on the grill.

Crispy, smokey and oh so delicious! Turn this humble vegetable into the star of the dinner table with this Lemon Grilled Leeks recipe from Busy In Brooklyn.
