Ingredients
Method
  • Step 0: Preheat the oven to 200 C.
  • Step 1: Place a medium sized pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, the leeks and ½ tsp salt. Cook until softened and sweet, around 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat if they look like they are burning.
  • Step 2: Whilst the leeks are cooking, cut the pastry into 11x11 cm squares and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Step 3: When the leeks are soft, remove from the pan from the heat and add to a bowl along with the pesto and goat’s cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 4: Make the egg wash by whisking the egg yolks with the milk.
  • Step 5: Place a heaped tablespoon of leek pesto mix in the middle of each square of pastry, brush some of the egg wash along the edges of the pastry and fold, forming a triangle. Press down the edges with a fork to form a seal.
  • Step 6: Brush the Boreks all over with the egg wash, sprinkle with the nigella seeds and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are golden and puffed.
