Method

Ham, mustrard and macadamia strudel

1.Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook leek, thyme and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins until leek is tender. Cool. Stir in mustard.

2.Meanwhile, cook potato in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 4-5 mins, until just tender, using a slotted spoon, remove potato and drain on paper towel.

3.Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place potato, leek mixture, cheese and macadamias in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine. Place half of mixture along centre of each pastry sheet, leaving a 3 cm border at each end. Top with ham. Roll pastry over filling, folding in ends to enclose filling.

4.Place strudel, seam-side down, on prepared tray. Brush with egg. Using a small knife, score top in a lattice pattern, without cutting through pastry. Bake for 35 mins, until golden and crisp.

5.Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and tarragon in a small bowl. Season. Serve with slices of strudel.
