Preparation

Step 1
Carefully wash the celery, pulling back the leaves to remove the grit without breaking them off the stem. Put the sesame oil into, ideally, a Romertopf, a clay pot with a tight-fitting lid. Failing that, use a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid. Add the celery and squeeze with lemon juice and sprinkle with soy sauce. Put the celery in a cold oven and turn up to 425 degrees. Bake for half an hour.
Step 2
Meanwhile carefully wash leeks, removing all the grit, and chop coarsely. Add to celery, bake for 15 minutes.
