MethodSaute leeks in the butter till very soft. (I usually steam them a bit first).Meanwhile boil the pasta and heat the grill. When the leeks are soft, stir in the creme fraiche, capers, and mackerel being careful not to break up the mackerel. Heat through for one minute. Drain the pasta and stir it into the sauce, again carefully. Tip into greased baking dish. Scatter with breadcrumb mixture and pop under the grill. (It doesn't actually need baking). | |||||||||||||||||||
