CLASSIC LEEKS VINAIGRETTE
For leeks vinaigrette, look for smallish leeks, which are more tender and more closely resemble asparagus spears, for the French call this dish "asperges du pauvre," the poor man's asparagus. This is important; a crunchy leek is unpleasant. Drain the leeks and hold at room temperature for up to several hours, but do not refrigerate or they'll lose their delicate texture. To serve, simply smear the leeks with vinaigrette; I make a thick, sharp rather mustardy one to complement the sweetness of the leeks. Then garnish as you wish. I like capers, hard-cooked egg, olives and cornichons.

Steps:
- Trim leeks, removing tough outer layers and cutting off root ends. Leave a little green at the top. Make a lengthwise slit part way down each leek. Put leeks in a large basin of warm tap water and swish vigorously to dislodge any sand or dirt. Remove carefully, leaving grit in basin.
- Fill a medium sauce pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and put in leeks. Cook at a brisk simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until leeks are quite tender when pierced with a paring knife. Drain and cool to room temperature.
- Make vinaigrette: put mustard and vinegar in a bowl and stir to dissolve. Whisk in olive oil to make a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Blot leeks and divide among 4 plates. Spoon vinaigrette over leeks, smearing with back of spoon. Sprinkle with capers. Garnish each plate with cornichons, olives and half an egg.

GRILLED BRAISED LEEKS
Steps:
- Preheat grill to high. Cut each leek in half lengthwise and rinse thoroughly to remove all dirt and sand. Pat dry. Brush the cut side of each leek half with the bacon drippings and sprinkle with kosher salt. Grill over direct, high heat, cut side down, with lid closed, approximately 6 to 7 minutes or until grill marks appear. Remove the leeks to a sheet of aluminum foil and lay cut side up. Brush the leeks with balsamic vinegar. Reassemble the leek halves together, wrap tightly in foil, and set back on the grill away from direct heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the leeks from the foil and serve immediately, as is or with crumbled bacon and goat cheese.

HAZELNUT-CHIVE DRESSING
This is a dressing designed for drizzling, not for tossing: the pink of the shallots and the peppercorns look really lovely on top of a composed salad. But the artful mix of tart, crunchy, salty and sweet elements means you can toss it with any salad when craving a change from the usual vinaigrette. Since it's made the day before serving to give the shallots a chance to soften and mellow, this dressing is great for parties.

Steps:
- In a jar or bowl, combine shallots, vinegar, chives, sugar, peppercorns, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Shake or mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before using. Shake well, taste, and adjust seasonings with more salt, vinegar, sugar or olive oil. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and toast until golden and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle lightly with salt. Let cool until you can handle them, then coarsely chop. Gently stir nuts into dressing, sprinkle top of dressing generously with fresh chives and serve immediately, using a spoon to drizzle over salad. Best served fresh, but keeps up to 3 days in refrigerator.
