1. Slice the leeks crosswise into 1 cm (5 inch) pieces, wash thoroughly and drain. Boil the rice in a saucepan of fast boiling salted water until tender, but not soft, then drain and set aside.
2. Melt 50 g (2 oz) butter in a frying pan and saute the leeks until golden.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, stock, wine and seasoning. Boil for 3-4 minutes, stirring, then add the ham to the sauce.
4. Use the tomato slices to line the sides of four individual ramekin dishes; spoon the leek mixture into the centre of each.
5. In a bowl, mix the cheese, rice and walnuts together and spoon over the leeks. Dot with remaining butter.
6. Bake in the oven at 180c (350°F) mark 4 for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Serve immediately.
