Filo pastry makes a super easy pie top; just scrunch it up and you’re ready to go - a cheat’s pie!
INGREDIENTS
SERVES: 4
1 onion
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 leeks
1 tin of cooked new potatoes
1 vegetable reduced salt stock cube
tin of leek and potato soup
5 sheets of filo pastry
Pepper
METHOD
1: Whack the oven on at 180C.
2: Peel and cut the onion into small wedges. Next, heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 6-8 minutes until starting to brown.
3: Trim the leeks and cut them into chunks, then rinse under water to get rid of any dirt. Add them to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes.
4: Tip the vegetables into a high-sided roasting tin or tray. Drain the tin of potatoes and cut each potato in half, then add these to the roasting tin and crumble over the stock cube. Add a bit of pepper and stir in the tin of soup.
5: Get your sheets of filo pastry and scrunch up each one, then arrange them on top of the vegetables to make your pie top. Use a pastry brush to brush the filo pastry with 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil. Don’t worry if you don’t have a brush, just use your finger. Then sprinkle over a bit more pepper
6: Put the pie in the hot oven to cook for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Serve it onto plates and dig in!
