Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat Grill/Skillet

   Preheat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Prepare Leeks

   Trim the leeks and cut them in half lengthwise. Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt and grit.

3. 3

   Season Leeks

   Drizzle the leeks with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Grill Leeks

   Place the leeks cut side down on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are nicely charred.

5. 5

   Finish Cooking Leeks

   Flip the leeks and cook for another 4-5 minutes until tender and charred on both sides.

6. 6

   Make Wild Garlic Butter

   While the leeks are grilling, prepare the wild garlic butter by blending the unsalted butter, wild garlic leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor until smooth.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the leeks are done, serve them hot with a generous dollop of wild garlic butter on top.
