Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Trim, wash and halve the leeks lengthways. Drizzle the vegetable oil on a baking tray; arrange the leeks cut-side down on the tray. Cover with foil and roast for 20 mins, then remove the foil and cook for another 10 mins until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 9-10 mins. Run under a cold tap until cool enough to handle, then peel, finely chop and mix with the capers; set aside.
  3. Whisk together the olive oil, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, caster sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir through the shallot.
  4. Arrange the leeks cut-side up on a platter; drizzle over the vinaigrette. Top with the egg and capers, then sprinkle over the parsley and chives.
