Method

Grilling Asparagus

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Rinse the fresh asparagus under cold water and trim the tough ends, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.

  2. 2

    Season the Asparagus

    In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the asparagus on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Making Creamed Leeks

  1. 5

    Prepare the Leeks

    Trim the dark green tops from the leeks and slice them in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold water to remove any dirt, then slice them into thin half-moons.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Leeks

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender.

  3. 7

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened.

Preparing Potatoes

  1. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 9

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 10

    Mash Until Smooth

    Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
