Method

Line a 15cm square container with a double layer of cling film leaving an overhang.

Boil the leeks in 3 liters of salted water for 20 minutes until tender then cool completely.

Blend the vinaigrette ingredients with a teaspoon of water using a hand blender.

Layer the leeks in the container, brushing each layer with vinaigrette and adding truffle slices.

Fold over the film, add a weighted container on top, and compress for 12 hours.

Slice the terrine into 2cm thick pieces while still wrapped in film.

Remove the film and plate each slice using a palette knife.

Brush with chive vinaigrette and garnish with artichokes, extra truffle, and winter leaves.
