Add the sliced leek greens and scallion greens along with the sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat, then cook over medium heat, stirring every 3–4 minutes, until the greens are deeply softened, reduced in volume by about two-thirds, and turning a rich golden-brown, 45–55 minutes. If the greens begin to stick or scorch before they are fully softened, add a splash of water (1–2 tbsp) and scrape up any browned bits.
