• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the leeks until they're clean, then shake or pat dry. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 1-inch-thick strips of lemon zest, then cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into four wedges and reserve the other half.

Add the boiling water, then seal the pan tightly with foil. Bake until the rice is tender, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Squeeze the lemon half over the rice, then stir in Parmesan and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges, and more Parmesan and herbs, as desired.
