One of my favorite first courses to eat and to serve, this is inspired by my friend cookbook author Ann Clark. Serve them as Ann does - warm, in a soup plate, with country bread to mop up the juices. Leftovers can be sliced and mounded on bread or croutons for a pass-around appetizer.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
6 to 8 leeks, including an inch of the pale greens
Aromatics: 1 bay leaf, 5 parsley branches, 4 thyme sprigs
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
1 celery rib, thinly sliced
Mustard Vinaigrette (see recipe)

Mustard Vinaigrette
DIRECTIONS
Halve the leeks lengthwise to 1 inch above the root end. Soak them in a large bowl of water for 15 minutes, then rinse gently under running water. Put them, in a single layer, in a large skillet with the aromatics, vegetables, and water to cover. Simmer until they're tender when pierced with a knife, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on their size. Gently transfer the leeks to a platter or individual plates with some of the broth, spoon the vinaigrette generously over the top, and serve with fresh bread. Be sure to use the remaining broth for soup stock or risotto.
