Leek and Salmon Quiche GF/Spinach Pie
Pastry:
1 1/2 cups Almond meal
1/2 cup ground linseed
2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 egg
pinch of salt
Method:
put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until a ball forms. If it is too dry add a couple of drops of water.
Press the dough evenly into a loose bottomed ring tart (24 cm) lined with baking paper. Bake the base for around 5 minutes in the preheated fan oven at 150 C.
Filling for Salmon Quiche:
2 leeks
1 tbsp butter or coconut oil
150 g salmon (or a tin of salmon, drained)
6 eggs
1/2 cup of coconut milk
1 tsp dried dill or fresh dill
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
salt, pepper
Method:
Cut the leeks and fry in butter or oil until soft. That can take up to 30 minutes - add a tiny bit of water to stop them browning. - Lay them on the base of the tart, follow with salmon.
