Ingredients

50 gram butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 leeks, outer leaves removed, finely chopped

3 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 cup white wine

1 1/2 cup whole milk

200 gram crème fraîche

3 tablespoon flour mixed with ¼ cup milk

1 tablespoon thyme leaves, chopped

500 gram fresh salmon fillets

300 gram prawns, peeled, tails removed

2 cup baby spinach, chopped

2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon capers

zest of 1 lemon

400 gram block puff pastry

1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk

Method

1.Preheat oven to 210ºC (fan bake if possible).

2.Heat butter with olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes until the leek is soft.

3.Add garlic and cook for another few minutes. Add wine, then turn heat to high and boil rapidly for a minute or so to burn off the alcohol.

4.Add milk, crème fraîche, flour paste and thyme, then simmer for about 5 minutes until mixture is thickened.

5.Stir through salmon, prawns, spinach, dill, capers and lemon zest, simmering for a few more minutes to cook through. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.

6.Roll pastry out to 3mm thickness and cut circles to fit your ramekins or pie dish.

7.Spoon mixture into ramekins (or one dish), top with pastry and press the edges to seal. Brush with egg wash, cut a couple of steam holes, then bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the pastry is dark golden brown and puffy.

8.Serve with a side salad, if desired.
