Grilled Leek, Leek

20241211 #breakfastdiary 1255, 2°C/cloudy, 20min/exercise(M) (Feels a bit dated to still be citing Webster's, but,) apparently Webster's word of the year is "Polarization." Defined as a split into two starkly contrasting opposites — specifically, a state where a society or group's opinions, beliefs, and interests concentrate only at the two extremes. Guess this isn't just our country's problem. I wanted to close out the year calmly, but the surrounding circumstances won't allow it. #grilledleek with a soft-boiled egg and basil pesto

2-3 leeks (white sheaths only), 1 egg, basil pesto, olive oil, salt, pepper 👉Like this 1. Wash the green leeks thoroughly and cut away the sheath. (The green part is the leaf blade, the white part is the sheath.) Also cut a bit of the leaf blade into thin strips to top the grilled leek with later. 2. Heat a pan with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, and slowly grill the leek. 3. Plate the leek, top with the reserved leek strips and the soft-boiled egg, then add basil pesto. #breakfast #recipe #miraclemorning #leek
