2. Leave the leeks to cool, then slice in half lengthways.
3. Put the mustard, water, vinegar, salt and pepper in a blender and blitz for a few seconds. Then, with the motor running, gradually pour in the olive oil until you have a thick, mustardy emulsion. Taste and adjust. You might need a little more water if it is too thick.
4. Arrange the leeks in a regimented style in a flat dish. Pour over the dressing, then sprinkle over the finely chopped egg and the snipped chives.
