Creamy Vegetable Pie
250g sweetcorn, fresh or canned
350g broccoli
350g courgettes
350g carrots
125g beans
3 small leeks
300 ml béchamel sauce (made with 150ml single cream and 150ml milk)
bunch of fresh summer herbs of your choice e.g tarragon, thyme, dill, chopped
250g frozen or homemade puff pastry
Steam all the vegetables separately until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Alternatively, cook them in the microwave. Leave to cool, reserving cooking liquids, then chop if necessary into bite-size pieces.
Thin out the béchamel with about 150ml of the reserved liquids. Stir in the vegetables and herbs and pour into a large oven proof dish.
Roll out the pastry to a round or other shape that is 2.5cm larger than the diameter of the dish. With the trimmings make a long thin strip of pastry. Moisten the rim of the dish and place this strip on it. Moisten the strip and then place the pastry lid on top and press down with a fork to seal the edge.
Bake at 200°C / 400°F / gas 6 for 30 ¿ 40 minutes or until the pastry is risen and golden.
