This vegan Quorn chicken and leek pie was such a huge hit with our family that I know I'll be making it time and time again. Vegan Quorn pieces, leeks and potatoes are mixed together in a creamy cashew sauce and encased in puff pastry. Delicious!

Is this vegan pie recipe easy to make?

Yes, this is an easy recipe to make. Yes, there are a few stages to make, but they are all simple.

First blend the cashew sauce. Then fry the leeks before adding the potatoes, Quorn pieces and cashew sauce. Tip this into a roasting dish and cover with ready made pastry. Finally, bake until golden brown.

Is puff pastry vegan?

Traditional puff pastry is made with butter, so no, it's not vegan.

However, most shop bought, ready made puff pastry is suitable for vegans. Always check the label if you're not sure.

    Hey SneakyVeg!

    Any tips for a nut free version of this? Perhaps a vegan white sauce without nuts?

    Would love to know your thoughts!

      Hi Peter - if you're in the UK Sacla do a nut free vegan white sauce in a jar that you could use. Otherwise you could make a traditional bechamel sauce but using vegan butter and milk (oat milk is my preferred). This recipe looks good https://thehiddenveggies.com/vegan-bechamel/

        Thanks, Mandy! I ended up making a bechamel sauce with butter, flour and oat milk and it was great 🙂

    This was delicious and absolutely worth a little bit more work than some of the recipes here. We tried it both with Quorn and with "What the Cluck" - the latter worked very well here.
