Preparation
- Step 1
Place the wine, chicken broth and leeks in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the leeks are soft, about 30 minutes. Remove the leeks from the liquid and discard. Increase the heat slightly and cook until the liquid is reduced to i cup, about 5 minutes. Set the pan aside.
- Step 2
Steam the artichokes until the hearts are tender and the leaves pull out easily, about 40 minutes. Scrape out the chokes. Steam the potatoes until tender, about 25 minutes. Steam the carrots until tender, about 12 minutes. Steam the asparagus until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Steam the morels until softened, about 3 minutes. As the vegetables and potatoes are done, set them aside. When cooled to room temperature, arrange on platters for easy access at the buffet.
- Step 3
Just before serving, warm the leek liquid over low heat. Whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and scallion. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables and potatoes and sprinkle with the mint. Serve immediately at the buffet.
