Directions

Trim and discard the roots and dark green portions of the leeks, rinse thoroughly, and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove all sand and grit.
Drain and pat dry.
Place leeks on a wire rack in a roasting pan and add wine (or water) to a depth of about 1 inch, or to just below the level of the rack.
Cover the pan tighdy and steam over medium-low heat until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove leeks from the roasting pan, brush generously with the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Place on a grill 2 to 3 inches from hot coals and grill, turning frequently, until slightly blackened all over, 6 to 10 minutes in all.
