Leek and Potato Pie [with some other veg]

What started out as a simple pie soon became filled with other veg delights, as i had so much veg in the fridge and could see some was old and risked spoiling soon . I must add this one tasted nicer than the chicken pie, maybe coz i am more a vegi at heart. Well it was one way to get broccoli down the kids.
so i started by steaming my veg

These next ones are carrots and parsnips, i had beetroot in the pot part of the steamer and while i was away it rose up and coloured and flavoured my white parsnips and carrots too. Nice colour.

I made a roux and added this to the veg

the rest is as with the previous pie

This pie was meant for my sister who was to come and visit me but canceled at the last moment. Well i am sorry sister once the kids got home they spotted the pie and only a little left now and DH is due home any moment now.

mashallah that looks really yummy and beautiful. love the detailing on the pie crust. The only time i have consumed beets, are in juices. Beetroot juice with any citric fruits, are good for flushing uric acid in the body.

I actually made a mess of the crust.....also i used a cake silicone pan as i needed something bigger and really need to invest in some good sized pie dishes. After i felt i should have added one more leaf. Haniyyah i love beets and there is nothing like fresh beets, a pain to cook as it takes ages but i grate them and sprinkle a little vinegar on them and keep them in an air tight container in the fridge and use as i need, mixed with a little mayo they are delicous. I have never tried juice as with tomato juice and i was thinking about it the other day would love to try some.

I feel big too for weeks now, i lost a good amount of weight when i was living abroad and prayed my London tummy would not return, its back sadly and now i feel big . We only have a slice of pie for tea and then just fruit for dinner. eaten in the right way moderately everything is fine.
