  2. salt - to taste (for boiling water)
  3. olive oil - 3 tablespoons (for vinaigrette)
  4. vinegar - 1 tablespoon (for vinaigrette)

  7. black pepper - to taste (freshly ground, to taste)
  8. hard-boiled egg - 1 (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the leeks: Cut the leeks lengthwise to open them up and release any sand or grit.
  2. Boil the leeks: Bring water to a boil, add salt, and cook the leeks for about 10 minutes until tender.
  3. Check for doneness: Use the tip of a pairing knife to check if the leeks give no resistance.
  4. Make the vinaigrette: In a bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, capers, and Dijon mustard. Adjust salt and add freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Assemble the dish: Cut off the bottom part of the leeks, arrange them on a plate, drizzle the vinaigrette over the leeks, and garnish with a hard-boiled egg.
