£2.80/kgThis one-pan pie mixture can be made a few days (or even weeks) ahead and chilled or frozen until ready to use. You can freeze the sauce before or after adding your chosen filling depending on what you have to hand and your occasion’s requirements. If using leftover meat, the total weight needs to be about 650g. Then it’s just a matter of topping with ready-made pastry and baking.
A broccoli & blue cheese pie alternative is available here, and a fish pie here.

Finely slice the leeks. In a large pan, melt the butter over a low heat. Add the leeks and thyme with a pinch of salt and cook very gently, stirring every so often, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes more, until the leeks have softened and are starting to colour. Stir in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes, then stir in the vinegar and cook for a minute more. Gradually add the stock, a little at a time, stirring constantly, then add the cream, turn the heat up and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for a couple of minutes until you have a thickened sauce (you can chill or freeze at this stage).
Take off the heat; stir through the mustard, herbs and your meat filling. Season (bearing in mind that ham is salty), then set aside to cool to room temperature. You can cover and chill this for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 6 weeks.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Spoon the filling into a roughly 1.5-litre pie dish. Dust the worktop with flour, then unroll the pastry onto it, rolling it out a little widthways. Lightly brush the edge of the dish with a little beaten egg, then lay the pastry over the top. Press down the edges and trim. Crimp to seal. Use a small knife to make 2 little holes in the middle for steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg. If you like, reroll the pastry scraps to cut out decorations and arrange on top of the pie, brushing with the egg. Put the pie on a baking tray and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the filling is piping hot, and the pastry risen and golden. Stand for 5 minutes, then serve.
LEFTOVERS
Reroll any unused pastry scraps together with grated cheese, then cut into strips or festive shapes and bake to make cheese straws. Eat at once or freeze for later.
