INGREDIENTS

350 G, 12oz-1lb puff 350 to
450
pastry
1 Egg yolk
1 Sachet of powdered saffron
350 g Trimmed leeks, sliced
thinly
using a lot or the
green part 12oz
300 Single or double cream
1/2 pint
175 g Mussels, fresh or canned in
brine 6oz
175 g Cockles, fresh or canned in
brine 6oz
50 g Butter, about 2oz
A little wine or vermouth
optional
1 Clove garlic, chopped finely
optional
Salt and pepper
Chopped parsley, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 7/ 220 øC/ 425 øF.  Roll out the pastry
into a rectangle and cut out 6 rectangles; about  5 x 3 inches (13 x 8
cm) - this will be a little thicker than you  usually roll.  Mix the
egg yolk with the saffron and paint each pastry shape.  Using a
sharp-pointed knife, make an even criss-cross pattern on the  top of
each.  Bake on a lightly wetted tray in the preheated oven for 10-15
minutes  until very well risen and cooked through.  Cool a little ,
split carefully in two, remove any uncooked pastry and  return to the
turned-off, cooling oven to dry out.  Cook the sliced leek over a
gentle heat in the cream until well  softened but still rather green.
Liquidise and then strain through a fine sieve.  Season and keep warm.
If you are using mussels or cockles, neither should have been bathed
in vinegar and both should be rinsed well to remove any remaining
grains of sand.  Melt enough butter in a pan to coat the seafood, with
a little wine or  vermouth if used.  Toss the seafood in this just long
enough to warm through. (Those  with a taste for the earth rather than
the sea might also sprinkle in  a little finely chopped garlic.)  Put
the bottom of each reheated pastry sandwich in the middle of a  warm
plate and pile on the seafood.  Sandwich with the pastry tops.  Now
spoon the warm leek cream around the pastry.  Sprinkle a little chopped
parsley on the sauce and serve at once.  Converted by MC_Buster.
