Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Build a fire in a pit and let it burn down until coals are covered with ash. Rake a layer of coals away to one side of fire. Place 4 ears of corn, in husks, and 2 leeks on top. Roast, turning often, and adding more hot coals as needed, until husks are charred and peel back easily and leeks are starting to collapse, 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly. Shuck corn. Trim roots from leeks; halve lengthwise. Remove tender inner flesh; discard charred layers. Spread vegetables with unsalted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
