INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7 and preheat the grill.
1 Crush the biscuits and use to cover the base of an oval gratin dish. Heat
the milk in a pan until it is almost boiling.
2 Whisk together 4 egg yolks and 55g/2oz caster sugar then gradually add
the milk. Pour the custard over the biscuits, place the dish on a baking
sheet and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes.
3 Whisk two egg whites in a bowl until stiff then gradually add 115g/4oz
caster sugar and lemon juice, whisking until the meringue is thick and
shiny.
4 Spoon the meringue into a piping bag, pipe thickly over the surface of
the custard then place under the grill until golden brown.
5 For the Sweet and Sour Sauce: Heat the red wine vinegar in a small pan
with tomato ketchup, garlic, dash of beer, 1 tsp caster sugar and a drop of
Worcestershire sauce and simmer until reduced and thickened.
6 Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and cook for
about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through, turning occasionally. Spoon
in the sweet and sour sauce and 1 tbsp red wine and stir to coat.
7 Fill a deep pan one third full with vegetable oil and heat. Cut one leek
in half lengthways then in half again and cut into thin julienne strips.
8 Deep fry the leek julienne until golden and drain on kitchen paper. Serve
the sweet and sour chicken with deep fried leeks.
9 Pierce the potatoes with a fork and cook in the microwave for about 8-10
minutes on High power (800W) or until tender.
10 Cut the cooked potatoes in half and score the flesh with a knife.
Drizzle over a little olive oil and season. Heat a griddle pan, add the
potatoes, cut side down and cook until golden brown.
11 Heat butter and 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a wok. Finely slice remaining
leek, add to the wok and cook slowly until tender. Serve potato with
braised leeks.
