WELSH LEEK PIE



Welsh Leek Pie image

From Celtic Cookery by Iris Price Jones. Leeks are a national emblem of Wales, and are plentiful in their season. You'll want enough pastry to line the dish as well as make a lid for it!

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces prepared leeks
2 ounces butter
1/2 pint single cream
2 eggs
4 ounces boiled ham
1 pastry for single-crust pie

Steps:

  • Prepare the leeks by cutting off the roots, the coarse green leaves and the damaged outer layer. Run under the tap to get rid of the dirt and grit. Slice them into a colander and rinse again. Cook them gently in the butter till soft.
  • Line a shallow pie dish with a layer of pastry, and turn the leeks and the ham (chopped small) on to it.
  • Mix cream and eggs well together. Season with salt and plenty of pepper and strain into pie dish. Cover with a pasrty lid, and brush with milk.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes in a 350F oven.
  • This pie tastes better warm than hot. If you prefer a flan, just cook without the pastry lid.

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium potatoes
2 medium onions
6 to 8oz strong welsh cheese (or use a good mature cheddar cheese)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 full sprig(s) fresh dill, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (170°C). Butter or grease a medium-size baking dish; set aside.
  • 2. Rinse potatoes and scrub away debris. Peel if you wish. Slice potatoes very thinly, and place potato slices in a colander, and rinse in cool running water. Drain well and set aside.
  • 3. Peel and thinly slice the onions; set aside.
  • 4. Coarsely grate the cheese; set aside.
  • 5. Place a layer of onions in baking dish, then add a layer of potatoes. Season potato layer with salt, pepper, and dill (adding more or less as desired). Top with a layer of cheese. Drizzle the water down each side of the dish so you don't disturb the layers.
  • 6. Cover with lid (or you can use foil, but you'll want to butter it to prevent sticking). Place baking dish in oven, and bake for 60 minutes. Remove the lid and bake uncovered for an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until the cheese forms a crust on top and is lightly browned. Serve immediately while still hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives.
