Left Over Puff Pastry Pie

Print

This is a perfect, quick and healthy dish to make using up leftovers. We used salmon, but you could use chicken or beef, or keep it vegetarian with extra veggies!


INGREDIENTS

  • Small drizzle olive oil
  • 1 small leek, sliced
  • 2-3 small broccoli florets, cooked
  • 2-3 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sweetcorn
  • 1 tbsp soft crème cheese
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch LoSalt
  • Sprinkle dried Italian herbs
  • 1 salmon fillet cut into cubes
  • ½ roll puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
  2. Add a small drizzle of olive oil into a small non-stick frying pan and heat gently. Add the sliced leek, sauté for 3-4 mins until starting to soften.
  3. Next add the already blanched broccoli, sliced mushrooms and sweetcorn.
  4. Heat gently for 2-3 mins, meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the soft cheese and 2 tbsp hot water along with black pepper, a pinch of LoSalt and a sprinkle of dried Italian herbs.
  5. Mix together using a fork and pour over the vegetables.
  6. Next, add the cubed salmon fillet to the pan alongside the vegetables and stir gently.
  7. Pour the pie filling into 2 small ramekins, ensuring you get all the juice!
  8. Now cut 2 puff pastry tops, slightly bigger than the ramekins and place on top of the pies, pinching the edges to fit snugly. Now brush with a beaten egg and cut a couple of small air holes in the top of each pie.
  9. Pop on a baking tray (in case of spills) and place in the pre-heated oven for 20-25 mins until the pie filling is bubbling and the pastry is golden.
