Recipe: Pastries With Leek & Prosciutto

Seeking a simple savoury snack? Wrap wintry leek in pastry and bake until golden.

You will be surprised by how much flavour the woody ends of the leeks can provide. You can add them to stock or soup to produce deeper savoury notes - no part of the vegetable needs to go to waste. But for these pastries, I’ve used the fresh, white section of the leek and paired with cheese, prosciutto and lemon.
