Preparation

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.
2. Meanwhile carefully wash leeks, removing all the grit, and chop coarsely. Add to celery, bake for 15 minutes.
