120g
2 zucchini
600g
1 leek
180g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
2 cans canned tomatoes
800g
1 cup vegetable broth
230g
1/3 can canned chickpeas
130g
1 cup green beans
230g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g
6 potatoes
1200g
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cook Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped leek and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, diced pumpkin, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened.
3. Spice It Up: Stir in the ground cumin and chili powder. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
4. Add Liquids and Chickpeas: Add the canned tomatoes and vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the drained chickpeas and green beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Bring It All Together: Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble Pies: Spoon the vegetable and chickpea mixture into individual pie dishes or a large ovenproof dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out evenly.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the mashed potatoes.
8. Bake: Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Vegetable & Chickpea Potato Pies!

Tips:

- Prep all your vegetables beforehand to make the cooking process faster and more streamlined.

- For a creamier potato topping, you can add some butter and milk while mashing the potatoes.

- Make sure to drain and rinse the canned chickpeas to remove any excess salt and improve the overall taste.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add more chili powder or even a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.

- Allow the pies to cool for a few minutes after baking so they can set properly and are easier to serve.

- Experiment with different vegetables according to your preference or what's in season.

Once your Vegetable & chickpea potato pies are baked to perfection, they should have a golden, crispy topping with a savory, bubbling filling underneath. Serve these comforting pies as a main course or pair them with a side salad for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy the rich flavors and satisfying textures that make this dish a favorite.
