This easy-to-make veggie and chicken deluxe pie is a taste sensation. Roasted cauliflower, seasoned cannellini beans, tender chicken and veggies hidden under a blanket of mashed potatoes is already a great pie. But we’re aiming to take the blue ribbon home, so let’s add panko breadcrumbs into the potato topping for crunch. First place is guaranteed.

• Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Cut cauliflower into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. • Place cauliflower in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender and brown around the edges, 20-25 minutes.

• Peel potato, then cut into large chunks. Thinly slice leek. Finely chop garlic. Drain and rinse cannellini beans. • Cook potato in boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to pan. • Add the plant-based milk and 1/2 the plant-based butter to potato along with a pinch of salt. Mash until smooth.

• Meanwhile, combine panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 the garlic and a generous drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook leek and diced chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add herb & mushroom seasoning and the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cannellini beans, crushed & sieved tomatoes, vegetable stock powder, remaining plant-based butter, the brown sugar and a splash of water. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add baby spinach leaves, stirring until wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste.

• When the cauliflower is done, preheat grill to high. • Pour cannellini bean and chicken filling over cauliflower in baking dish. Spread evenly with mashed potato. • Sprinkle over panko topping. Grill until lightly golden, 8-10 minutes.

• Divide cannellini, chicken and cauliflower panko-topped pie between plates. • Serve with plant-based basil pesto. Enjoy!
