A rustic ceramic platter of grilled leeks and sweet peppers sits on a wooden table. The leeks are charred with caramelized edges, and the sweet peppers, in shades of red, yellow, and orange, are slightly blistered. The dish is garnished with fresh thyme and parsley, with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor. A small bowl of olive oil, a lemon wedge, and a folded linen napkin complete the fresh and inviting presentation. Soft natural light highlights the smoky textures and vibrant colors.
