Preheat over to 200c.
Trim and and wash the leeks leaving the base of
the root to hold the leaves together. Quarter
the leaves lengthways and arrange top to tail
in a shallow baking dish that can hold them in
a single layer. Season lavishly with salt and
pepper and sprinkle the herbs between and over
the top. Poor in the olive oil and 200ml
boiling water. Cover the dish with tin foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes
until the leeks are completely tender. Can be
served hot, warm or cold.
