The original intention was to make a vegetable pot pie, which I found on Stephanie’s site – the happy sorceress. However, I could not get half of the ingredients (ok – some of the ingredients – mainly potatoes soup and pastry) from our local supermarket, and I was too lazy to drive to a bigger supermarket. So, several amendments were made.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 handful baby leeks, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 medium potatoes, sliced into 1cm pieces and lightly steamed
• 10 -15 French beans
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 2 cups mixed broccoli & carrots, chopped
• ½ cup dry white wine
• ½ cup fresh or frozen peas
• 1 tin vegetable soup

Method:

• Fry the garlic and leeks for a couple of minutes.
• Add the red pepper, beans, broccoli & carrot
• Add the potatoes
• Add the wine with salt, pepper & herbs to taste
• Simmer for about 5 minutes
• Add the tin of soup & the peas, and simmer until done

Hints:

• You can add a dash of Worcester sauce and a chilli for flavour if you like.
• Use whatever vegetables take your fancy.
• You can also (like Stephanie did) put it into a pie dish, add a crust and bake. If you do, simmer off some more of the juice.

Serve with rice.

I found it really tasty and fulling, let me know what you think.
