Tie in bundles and cook in a large pan of boiling water for 8-12 minutes, or until tender. drain thoroughly. They can be cooked 6-8 hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature.

2. Make a vinaigrette from 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, salt, black pepper and 6 tablespoons of oil. Add the hard boiled eggs and parsley. Remove the strings from the leeks and cut into 3½cm lengths if you like. Arrange on a dish and spoon over the dressing. Serve at room temperature.
