Instructions
For the pastry:
- Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until they form a ball. Remove from the bowl, pat it and smooth it out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 1 hour.
For the filling:
- Preheat your oven to 180 deg c and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Saute the leeks in 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan and allow to soften and cook for 8-10 mins. Remove and set aside and allow to cool completely.
- Roll the pastry out in a large round shape enough to cover a 22cm lightly oiled baking dish – approx—2cm thick.
- Combine the cooked leeks, ricotta, feta, herbs, eggs and pepper.
- Scoop the cheese and leek mixture into the rolled pastry allowing for a few cms around the edges. Fold the edges over the mix, creating a rustic effect.
- Brush with egg wash (a little beaten egg with water) and cook for 40-45 mins until browned. Allow cooling for 10-15 mins before cooling and serving.
