Delicious pie with filo pastry, cheese and peppers
Delicious Pie of Leeks, Peppers And Cheese

Leeks And Soft Goat’s Cheese

Leek and Goat’s Cheese Pie is a light pie with some of my favourite ingredients – leek, peppers and goats cheese. The pie uses filo pastry – ready made – although you could make the pie with shortcrust pastry too. Leeks are in season from November through to April and are plentiful in the shops. Prices for leeks vary from between £2-£3 a kilo. Try your local market for really fresh leeks.

This could be my favourite leek recipe although there are several leek recipes that I love. Leeks have been cultivated and cooked for thousands of years. They are documented in Roman times and mentioned in the Bible in Numbers 11:5along with melons, onion and garlic.

Delicious way to cook leeks, you’d never believe it is so easy to prepare!

Cheese – Goats, Local or French

This pie recipe uses goats cheese, but you could use feta cheese or even mozzarella – really what ever your favourite cheese is that you think will go best. Although French goats cheese is probably the most well-known, you can get Welsh or even Somerset goats cheese – so if you prefer to buy local, look out for these. You can find them in supermarkets, but do look at your local Farmers Market or local produce store too.

Peppers aren’t in season at the same time as leeks although they are available all year round. Once the British season is over, they tend to be imported from southern Spain and Italy. Use what colour of pepper you prefer, or is available to you. If your peppers are small, you can use both red and green.

Filo Pastry (not homemade)

I have to admit, I have not tried to make filo pastry ever – it seems too tricky. If anyone out there has successfully made it, please do share your comments and thoughts as to whether it seriously can easily be made at home.

One of its advantages, though is that it is lower in fat and calories than other pastry. It makes a lovely crisp coating to this recipe, too.

The frozen pastry is a little lower cost than the fresh, chilled ready made.

I make this pie with a deep loose bottomed, 20 cm cake tin – it would work with a baking dish or pie dish too. Grease the baking dish or cake tin before you start.
