Ingredients
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
-
Using a potato peeler, carefully slice the courgettes lengthways into thin strips. Cut the leek into very fine julienne, and cut the asparagus evenly into 5cm/2in lengths.
-
Cut out four sheets of baking parchment measuring 30 x 38cm/12 x 15in and fold in half. Draw a large curve to make a heart shape when unfolded. Cut along the line, and open out.
-
Divide the courgettes, asparagus and leek evenly between each paper heart, positioning the filling on one side of the fold line and topping each with a tarragon sprig and a garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the edges lightly with the egg and fold over. Twist the edges together so that each parcel is completely sealed.
-
Lay the parcels on a baking tray, and cook in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve immediately, laying the parcels on the serving plates to be opened at the table.
