Throw out the water, keep the celery on the side. Warm a big pan and saute the leeks, until they let out all of their juices. Then add the olive oil, the celery the tomato juice and pour enough water to cover them. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover, pour the rice on top of the vegetables, but do not stir, cover with the lid and continue simmering for another 10 minutes. Now add salt, pepper stir well and if needed add more water.
