St David’s Day
Leek and Potato Pie
Serves: 4-6
This leek and potato pie is perfect for St David’s Day and is the ultimate winter warmer!
For the sauce:
• 100g (3.5 oz) cashew nuts
• 250ml (8.4 fl oz) Rude Health Oat Drink
• ½ tsp curry powder
• ½ tsp miso paste
• 1 dash of white wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper
For the filling:
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 leeks, sliced into 3cm-thick rings
• 250g (8.8 oz) mushrooms, halved
• 2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
• 1 sheet vegan puff pastry
• Coconut oil, melted, for glazing the pastry
1 Place the cashews in a pan and cover with the Rude Health Oat Drink. Add the curry powder and a pinch of salt and gently simmer for 10 minutes – you just want to soften the cashews rather than reduce the liquid.
2 Strain the cashews, reserving the liquid. Place the cashews in a blender and blitz, slowly adding the reserved liquid until you have a nice creamy sauce. You may not need all the liquid, so pour in slowly until you have the right consistency.
3 Stir in the miso paste and a dash of white wine vinegar, then taste and season with salt and pepper.
Place a large pan over a high heat and add the leeks with a splash of oil and pinch
