  This is a really good receipe for an quick evening meal. It is so easy to adapt for other fillings, and I adapted this receipe to make puff pastry mince pies. Trying with apple next time. This is now a family favourite.

  this i great but i think you can jazz up the leeks a bit by cooking them in garlic, add a bay leaf and loads of black pepper. I add a couple of generous table spoons of a herb soft cheese too...but you could add so many things.

  I made these pies and my family told me that is was like eating a cheese and onion pasty but instead of onions it was leeks.They still enjoyed them.
