preheat oven: 200°C, 400°F, Gas 6
| 1. |
Place the leeks and olive oil in a saucepan and sweat until the leeks are softened.
|
| |
| 2. |
Next make the pastry, put the flour, fat, lemon peel and almonds into a mixing bowl, and mix until
it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the lemon juice and just enough water until it binds to make a soft
but not sticky pastry.
|
| |
| 3. |
Oil and flour a 20 - 22 cm diameter flan dish. |
| |
| 4. |
Place the pastry mix into the dish, pressing it around the sides with your hands to make a
pastry case. (It will be too fragile to use a rolling pin to roll out.)
|
| |
| 5. |
Prick the pastry base with a fork and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. |
| |
| 6. |
Place half of the leeks into the base of the pastry case, then top with half of the smoked
trout pieces. Layer the rest of the leeks on top then finish off with the rest of the smoked trout.
|
| |
| 7. |
In a bowl beat together the greek yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice and black pepper. Finally add
the chopped fresh herbs and mix. Spoon onto the trout and leek filling. Finally sprinkle a few
flaked almonds on the top.
|
| |
| 8. |
Cook in the centre of the oven for 35-40 minutes. Serve hot. |

This flan makes a lovely starter served with a crisp green salad garnish and a sprinkling of
balsamic vinegar, make in mini flan tins for individual portions. Alternatively as a main course
serve with lightly steamed vegetables and jacket potatoes or rice. Serve cold for a
picnic tea with
chunky tomato salsa and slices of
cheese topped flat bread.
