SAUTEED CARROTS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Combine leeks, carrots, chicken broth, butter, sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper in a skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes. Cook and stir mixture until leeks and carrots are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

VEGAN 'CHEESY' LEEK CRUMBLE

Steps:

• The night before, soak the cashew nuts in water and leave overnight.
• To make the crumble, tip the oats and flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and pour in the coconut oil. Draw the dry ingredients in until everything is well coated and resembles chunky breadcrumbs. Tip the mixture onto a baking sheet and put in the fridge to firm up - this will make your topping extra crunchy.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Steam the carrots and potatoes together for 5 mins until softened, then transfer to a food processor. Drain the cashews and add them too, along with 2 tbsp oil and the rest of the sauce ingredients except for the leeks. Blitz the mixture, season and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and a large pinch of salt, then fry for 15 mins until softened. Spoon in the cheese sauce - if it is very thick, add 200ml vegan vegetable stock. Transfer the mix to an ovenproof dish, top with the crumble and bake for 30 mins until piping hot. For a crispy topping, put under the grill to finish. Can be assembled in advance and kept in the fridge to cook when needed.

CREAMY ONE-POT MUSHROOM AND LEEK PASTA

Steps:

• Heat a wide, deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. When hot, add the olive oil and leeks, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and lightly golden, 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, then stir and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, another 2 to 3 minutes. (This allows the water from the mushrooms to evaporate, encouraging caramelization.) Add the juice of one lemon half to deglaze the pan and stir to combine.
• Add the pasta and stock; stir well. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat. Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it. (All pasta shapes and brands will have different cooking times. You want the pasta to be just tender.)
• Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and add the butter and parsley. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon half and stir until butter is melted and dispersed. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, top with ricotta, red-pepper flakes (to taste) and more chopped parsley.
