Preheat oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7 and preheat the grill.

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
