Recipe: Grilled Leeks with Vegan Feta Cheese

From onegreenplanet.org

I love leeks and I love to grill pretty much any vegetable I have in the fridge. When you add the vegan feta cheese, you make this a perfect entrée.

Serves

4

Cooking Time

32

Ingredients

• 12 leeks
• 1 1/2 cup vegan feta cheese
• extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste
• zest of 1 lemon
• fresh herbs (dill, thyme, and rosemary)

Preparation

1. 1  Clean the leeks by removing the ends and the first 3 or 4 layers. Boil the leeks in salted water for 10 minutes.
2. 2  When they are fully cooked, drain them and squeeze out as much water as possible.
3. 3  Grill the leeks on a hot cast iron grill (if inside) or on your outdoor grill until a few grill marks appear.
4. 4  Crumble a quality feta cheese and set aside.
5. 5  Arrange the grilled leeks on a serving plate and drizzle a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil; add salt (or salt flakes if you have them) and pepper.
6. 6  Sprinkle the vegan feta cheese uniformly all over the leeks and sprinkle the finely minced fresh herbs and lemon zest. Enjoy warm with some good bread or crostini.
