PROS

This savory pie is incredibly flavorsome, with a nutty taste from the leeks and a creamy texture from the coconut milk.

It can be served hot or cold, making it perfect for a take-to-work lunch.

CONS

The crust of the pie can be a little tricky to get right, and may not turn out well unless you have experience working with pastry dough.

The leeks can also have a slightly slimy texture, which may not be to everyone’s taste.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This pie is a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C.
The leeks and coconut milk provide antioxidant properties and can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
However, due to the high fat content of the coconut milk and pastry shell, it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
