Non-dairy Leek Pie: Check Out The Recipe

Whether we want to reduce the consumption of dairy products in our daily diet, or if we suffer from some type of intolerance, it is advisable to use recipes that have an adequate nutritional value, but without ingredients that can interfere with good digestion. One of the best options is the leek pie that we present below.

We often abuse dairy products due to the belief that these are the ingredients that provide the best flavor for our recipes. Also because we tend to believe that dairy products are the only foods that provide the necessary consistency, something that is not entirely true.

There are many foods that do not contain lactose that add consistency and flavor to recipes. This is the case with vegetable drinks, potatoes and other foods.

Leek pie made from a cream

stuffing ingredients

• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 large onion
• 3 large leeks
• 5 medium eggs
• 2 medium potatoes
• 4 tablespoons of olive oil (60 ml)
• 3 tablespoons of flour (45 g)
• Condiments: salt and pepper
• Optional: thyme, turmeric
• 2 cups of water or vegetable drink (500 ml)

stuffing preparation

1. First, wash the leeks. When they’re ready, pick them up and take out the green part. Then cut the white part into thin slices. Also, cut the onion into rings and set aside.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium pieces of an intermediate thickness (neither too thin nor too thick).

1. Meanwhile, put a pan with oil and a clove of garlic (without peeling) to heat over medium heat.
2. Put the vegetables to fry in the pan for 5 minutes and once they start to brown, add the potatoes.

1. To prevent them from burning and, in turn, cooking quickly, add the water or vegetable drink before covering the pan.
2. After about 10 or 15 minutes, open the pan, reduce the heat to minimum and crush all the ingredients with the help of the hand mixer. The idea is to get a cream with a light consistency, but not too liquid.
3. Salt to taste and set aside until the leek pie dough is ready.

pasta ingredients

• Water
• Olive oil
• A bit of salt
• 1 1/3 cup wheat flour or cornstarch (200 g)
• 1 1/2 cup of water (375 ml)
• 2 tablespoons of oatmeal flakes (20 g)

dough preparation

1. First, preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour with the oat flakes .
3. Furthermore, add salt to the flour and stir with a spoon so that it is well integrated into the mixture.
4. On the other hand, heat the water in the microwave for 3 minutes and then add it to the bowl.
5. Then mix with slow, immersive movements to form a more or less thick paste.
6. Also, sprinkle some flour on a surface and place the dough on top. Flatten several times with a rolling pin to knead well.
7. Then, in a refractory mold, previously greased, place the dough and adjust it in the shape of the container. Then pierce the dough with a fork at several points so that it can “breathe” when baking.
8. Afterwards, put the dough to bake for about 10 or 12 minutes, approximately, and once it is golden, pour the cream prepared beforehand on top.
9. Let everything bake for 5 or 6 minutes longer (until the surface of the leek pie is well browned).
10. Finally, turn off and open the oven. Cover the pie with a dry cloth and let it cool to room temperature for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the pie filling includes eggs, which is why this ingredient is excluded when preparing the dough.

On the other hand, when using cornflour, as you cook everything in the oven, you will notice that the dough quickly changes from a yellow to a golden hue, when it then looks very good and invites all guests to taste it. And, according to our preferences, this flour can be replaced by other types: amaranth, oats, chickpeas, etc.

Although not usually decorated, some may use onion rings for this purpose. You can also sprinkle some parsley all over the surface ; in this way, you will also be able to flavor the pie.

Another good idea to decorate the pie is to add a touch of varied seeds, as they add a crunchy touch to the dish.
