(The Flavor of California)
Combine leeks with all the other ingredients and let marinate for at least one hour. When ready to cook, remove leeks, reserving the remaining marinade.
Grill leeks quickly, about 5-8 minutes on each side. You can also cook them in a very hot ungreased frying pan, browning them for about 2-3 minutes depending on how big and mature the vegetables are.
Toss in the reserved marinade with leek pieces and serve.
You can also add a few green garlic shoots to the baby leeks when you prepare this. To make this with scallions, substitue 12 or so scallions for the leeks.
This recipe is actually for Grilled Scallions, but Gene has always made it with leeks.
