Cook: 40 mins

In ideal meat free dish for a gathering and simple to make.

Plain flour, for work surface

1 sheet ready roll puff pastry, thawed

2 tbsp butter

6 leeks (white and light-green parts), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise, rinsed well

1 clove garlic, finely sliced

75g Paremesan cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas mark 5.

Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set aside.

On a lightly floured work surface, halve the pastry lengthwise in two.

Lightly score each half 1cm from the edges, creating a border and prick the pastry inside the border all over with a fork.

Chill for 15 minutes, then bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter then add the leeks and season with salt and pepper.

Stir to combine.

Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Uncover and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Remove the cooked pastry from the oven, sprinkle the Parmesan over top and layer the leeks on top.

Place on a chopping board and serve on the buffet table with a sharp knife for cutting into wedges or small slices.
