Makes 2 pies.
You will need:
- calorie controlled cooking spray
- 1 leek, sliced
- 150 g (5½ oz) chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 200 g (7 oz) quorn chicken style pieces
- 75 g (2¾ oz) frozen petit pois
- 60 g (2 oz) low fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs
- 100 ml (3½ fl oz) skimmed milk
- 2 x 45 g (1½ oz) filo sheets, measuring 50 x 24 cm (20 x 9½ inches), and defrosted if frozen
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200ºC/fan oven 180ºC. Heat a medium size, non stick saucepan and spray with the cooking spray. Add the leek, mushrooms and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in the thyme, Quorn and peas. Cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes.
Add the soft cheese and milk, season, and cook for a minute until hot. Spoon the mixture into two 250ml (9fl oz) pie dishes.
Scrunch up each sheet of filo pastry and then place on top of the pies to fit the dishes. Spray the top of the pies with the cooking spray, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
TIP: Use puff pastry to line the pie tin and top the pies if you want a nicer pie
TIP: You may want to increase the sauce level for these pies. To do that, increase the cheese and milk a little to taste.
