  4. For 5-6 minutes, turn the leek sticks, which turn color on the grill, and cook for another 5-6 minutes and take them out of the pan when they become soft. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on each.

  6. Take the grilled leeks on a plate and pour the sauce over them. Rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. You can serve it with your chicken or fish grills as a hot side dish or just as a salad or as a snack with lemon slices. Enjoy your meal!
