Portobello Mushroom, Salmon And Leek Traybake

 FOOD 

  ^{30 MINS • SERVES 4}

For the tart:

• 300g Portobello mushrooms, sliced or halved if small

• 1 x 320g sheet of puff pastry

• 2 fillets of wild salmon, skinless and cut into quarters

• 1 leek, trimmed and sliced

• 1 egg, beaten

• 130g ricotta

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 tbsp dill 

  For the vinaigrette:

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 5 tbsp olive oil

• ½ tbsp cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp chopped dill

•  1 tbsp chopped parsley

1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and put a griddle pan on a medium to high heat on the hob.

2. Line a 35cm x 25cm oven tray with the puff pastry. Prick with a fork, leaving a 1cm border, and put in the oven for 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, beat together the egg, ricotta and dill and season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

4. Heat a griddle pan and quickly soften the leeks in the butter, remove from the pan and set aside.

5. Cook the mushrooms on the griddle pan until nicely charred, then add the salmon and cook for 1 minute, turning halfway through. Remove from the pan to a plate.

6. Remove the pastry from the oven and prick all over the centre again with a fork. Leave to cool for a few minutes while you make the vinaigrette.

7. Whisk together the Dijon mustard and cider vinegar, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until you have a fairly thick dressing. Stir in most of the herbs and set aside.

8. Spread the egg mixture over the base of the tart and top evenly with the leeks. Add the mushrooms and salmon and return the tart to the oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking.

9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining chopped herbs and a twist of pepper, then serve with the vinaigrette drizzled over.

Do You Need A Sleep Divorce?

  ^{5 MIN READ • BY VICKY WARRELL}

It may surprise you to learn that more than a third of Brits prefer to sleep in a separate bed to their partner, but with the news that 25 percent of Brits only get five hours’ snoozing time a night or less, it might actually be beneficial to our health to sleep alone.

A whopping 40 percent of British adults say that their partner snoring or heavy breathing is the reason they can’t get a good night’s sleep. This, among other factors such as stress and worry, can cause countless nights of tossing and turning. Instead, if you’re worried about getting enough sleep, don’t be ashamed to lovingly negotiate sleeping separately every once in a while.

Elle Macpherson Tells Us How Important Self-Care Is For Beating Stress

We caught up with international supermodel, TV host, actress and founder of WelleCo, Elle Macpherson, to talk waking up to the importance of self-care:

"I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the value of nurturing activities, such as tending to a garden and cooking. I’ve found that grounded pastimes like this slow me down and help me focus on what’s really important. Starting and ending the day calm is great for beating stress and helps me feel fulfilled and at peace. At night, I often do a yoga class or some poses at home before bed – my aim is to have continuous sleep that’s full of dreams."
