How to wash leeks<br />
To remove soil trapped<br />
between leek leaves, where the<br />
green part meets the white,<br />
trim off the base of the leek<br />
and cut away the tougher<br />
uppermost part of the leaves.<br />
Slit the leek in half lengthways<br />
and rinse well under running<br />
water, pulling back the layers<br />
so any dirt is removed.<br />

• ½ tsp salt<br />
• 100g cold butter, grated<br />
• ½ cup sour cream<br />
• water to mix<br />
Filling<br />
• 2 leeks, washed, halved and<br />
sliced thinly<br />
• 2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
• 3 Tbsp butter<br />
• 100g bacon, rind removed and<br />
chopped<br />
• ¾ cup tasty cheese<br />
• 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese<br />
• fresh black pepper and salt<br />
• 1 egg, lightly beaten<br />
Method<br />
To make dough:<br />
1. Rub the sour cream and grated<br />
butter into the flour, baking<br />
powder and salt mix until<br />
crumbly. Add just enough water<br />
to make a workable dough.<br />
2. Knead it a bit in the bowl, then<br />
wrap in cling film and pop into<br />
gardener.kiwi<br />
the fridge while you make<br />
the filling.<br />
To make filling:<br />
1. Preheat oven to 200°C.<br />
2. Fry the leeks and garlic in<br />
2 Tbsp of the butter until slightly<br />
caramelised, scrape out of the<br />
pan into a bowl.<br />
3. In the pan add the remaining<br />
tablespoon of butter and bacon.<br />
Fry until cooked but not crispy.<br />
4. Remove from heat, mix into<br />
the leeks and garlic and allow<br />
to cool.<br />
5. Roll or press the dough out into<br />
a circle on a lightly floured piece<br />
of baking paper that fits on an<br />
oven tray.<br />
6. Leave a 6–7cm rim of dough clear<br />
on the outer edge, and spread<br />
the filling evenly over the centre.<br />
7. Sprinkle it with cheese mix, salt<br />
and pepper.<br />
8. Beat the egg and brush the<br />
exposed rim with the beaten egg.<br />
9. Fold it over onto the filling and<br />
brush the outside with the egg.<br />
10. Slide the tray carefully into the<br />
oven to bake for 30 minutes or<br />
until golden brown.<br />
