In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the leeks to the skillet, cut side down, and cook for 5 minutes until they start to brown.

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to reduce the liquid and slightly caramelize the leeks.
