While the portobello becomes almost meaty, the leek transforms into a very soft, almost creamy product. Delicious from the oven, but almost more delicious from the bbq.

Maybe it's starting to be noticed: I like dishes that you can pop into oven and then not have too much to worry about. If you also don't need that much ingredients and it's easy to prepare, it's quick good. The oven is very good at transforming simple ingredients into something very special.

The same goes for this dish. It comes from The Green Barbecue from Rukmini Iyer and is actually meant to prepare on a barbecue. And while it certainly is delicious, this is also a side dish you'll want to eat when the weather isn't as nice and you just want to stay inside. Slowly roasting the vegetables in the oven also gives an incredibly delicious result, and well worth the wait. It does take a little longer than if you bake the leeks and portobello on the bbq, but at the same time the oven is a lazy option including less work. Whatever you choose: it's delicious either way.
