The preparation of grilled leeks with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena I.G.P.
The first thing you need to do is to clean the leeks carefully. You have to free them from the outer parts and leave only the most tender part, the one that is inside, called the heart of the leek. Now wash the leeks thoroughly under running water, then place them in a pot of boiling, salted water. After fifteen minutes of cooking on a medium heat, you can drain the leeks and leave them in the colander to remove any remaining water.
Grill the leeks on a preheated non-stick griddle for about ten minutes. During this time, turn the leeks so that they are cooked evenly. When done, place them on a serving plate.
Then you can deal with the seasoning for the grilled leeks: wash and finely chop the herbs (mint, parsley, dill and rosemary) on a chopping board. Take a bowl and pour in some olive oil, pepper and salt and add the chopped herbs. Stir to combine the seasoning and use it to season the leeks. Finally, it's time for the balsamic: pour some Silver Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena I.G.P. over the dish and the result will be truly exceptional!
