Method
For this Filo Pastry recipe, take your fresh Filo Pastry out of the fridge at least 2 hours before use to bring it up to room temperature.
In a large saucepan, heat butter on medium. Sauté the leek and fennel for 3 minutes, until softened.
Add wine, simmer for 2 minutes until it evaporates. Stir in the flour until smooth for approx. 1 minute.
Gradually add the fish stock, stirring constantly until smooth. Simmer, stirring until the mixture boils and thickens. Simmer for a further 3 minutes and then stir in the cream.
Remove from heat. Mix in the seafood, peas and season well. Spoon the pie mixture into a baking dish, spreading out evenly. Top with parsley, capers and lemon zest.
