Preparation

Step 1

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook leek, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour; cook until just starting to colour, about 2 minutes.

Stir in clam juice until smooth; stir in milk and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 5 minutes.

Add scallops, shrimp, fish, marjoram, salt and pepper; simmer, stirring constantly, until scallops are opaque and shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes.

Spoon into warm puff pastry shells. Sprinkle with chives.
