Another triumphant wartime recipe! I didn’t quite follow the recipe to the tee as I was being mindful of the flour and fat I had to last me (so I made the tart an open one) and of course I didn’t have eggs (or dried egg) to hold it together. Instead I used a little potatoes and carrot mashed together. It did a great job and I loved the taste of this!

Leek Tart Ingredients

• 3 leeks chopped
• margarine for cooking
• 6-8 oz of plain flour to make the pastry
• 3 oz of margarine/cooking fat to make the pastry
• salt and pepper
• water for the dough
• 1 egg or some dried egg (I used a little mashed potato and carrot to hold the leek mixture together)
• flan dish or as per recommendation below

Method

This tart was really nice, pretty easy to make and held together well when cold for the next day. It would travel well in a sandwich box or to take out on a picnic!

I’ll make this again for sure!

Much love, C xxxx
