Here’s how to make them in 4 simple steps.

Gather Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need 4 finely chopped leeks, 25g butter, 100g cream cheese, 6 sheets of filo pastry and 2 skinless salmon fillets.

Prepare Leeks

Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fry the leeks for 10 minutes in a large saucepan with 3 tablespoons water and 2 knobs of butter. When leeks are tender, remove from the frying pan and leave to cool. Mix in cream cheese and some seasoning.

Assemble Parcels

Brush 1 sheet of pastry with melted butter, followed by 2 more sheets on top. Brush butter between each layer. Place the salmon fillet in the center of the pastry and season before spooning over half the leak mix. Fold the ends over the top and scrunch together to enclose until they are little parcels. Repeat this process for the other fillet.

Oven Bake

After brushing both parcels with melted butter, cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are browned and crisp. Serve with fresh green salad.

It’s hard to believe that this stunning and huge layer cake is all vegan! Even chocolate work can be made vegan with the help of cacao powder or true dark chocolate. This cake shows that you even vegan baking can be elegant.

When you look at the work that has gone into the crust and the extra pieces that were added to the top, it seems like there is no way that a crust could hold together so well without animal fat. But it’s true! Instead of butter or shortening, @domestic_gothess uses coconut oil to hold this dough together.

There is nothing @domestic_gothess cannot turn vegan. This creamy, smooth hot chocolate is not only vegan but uses cashews and dates to give this drink its texture and sweetness. The cashews provide you with protein and the dates will give you your fix of potassium, magnesium, and fiber!

Mash-up all of the components and stir together to make sure all of the components are even.

This dish is very versatile and can be eaten with a variety of seafood and bread. We strongly recommend spreading the tartar on bread or crackers with lox and capers. You can also eat this as a spread below seafood.

The avocado tartar is an acidic and more flavorful take on the mashed up avocados on avocado toast but is still equally easy to make. If you like spice you can also add some hot sauce of your choice to the mix!

1. All you need is 3 ripe Haas avocados, you can literally get anywhere. Put it in a bowl and start mashing.
2. The following step includes one juiced lime, that goes straight to the bowl with the avocado.

3. Seasoning is key. Add 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon coriander.

4. Next, include a freshly and finely chopped onion. It should be medium sized. Some people prefer white onions, while others love the red ones. Make it your choice.

5. When it comes to garlic, you can always decide to add a dash, to improve the taste. If you are not a garlic fan, you can always stay away from it.

6. Add 2 Roma tomatoes and 1 small jalapeno pepper.

With six simple steps, the perfect guacamole recipe is done. You can always experiment, and mix the steps. Also feel free to add more spice or more of what makes you happy. Grab the tortilla chips, and you’ve got yourself a snack.
