Welsh Leek Pie


Vegetarian, tasty and perfect Welsh comfort food.

Ingredients
50g butter
2 leeks chopped
Handful of chopped flat parsley
Salt to taste
1 tsp mustard seeds
4 potatoes
1 tbsp Olive oil

Method
Heat the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the leeks gently until soft.

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan. Cut the potatoes into wafer-thin slices.

Line an ovenproof shallow dish with baking paper. Make one layer of potatoes neatly into the dish, slightly overlapping. The bottom of the pan will become the presentation side. Sprinkle with a pinch of parsley and season with salt and papper. Then add a layer of leeks.  Sprinkle with a pinch of mustard seeds. On top of leeks add another layer of potatoes followed by parsley and seasoning, leeks and mustard seeds.  Continue layering, finishing with a layer of potatoes.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Put in the oven and cook for 45-50 mins until the potatoes are soft.

Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10 mins. Turn out onto a serving plate, then slice into wedges with a very sharp knife.
