Deliciously creamy, this vegetarian Jerusalem Artichoke, Leek & Mushroom Pie makes the best of this season vegetables. Jerusalem artichokes make a nice change from potatoes.

This dish is perfect for a mid-week dinner or casual entertaining. The cream sauce and fluffy puff pastry make it a very satisfying and comforting meal on a cold day.

This straightforward recipe uses blue cheese but you can substitute for goat cheese or even cheddar cheese if you prefer. To speed things up I choose to use store-bought puff pastry. Make it a one-pot recipe using a hob-to-oven dish.

Serve it hot and bubbly, straight out of the oven with a green salad.
