 HI your leek and onion cobbler sounds great, would you like to share the recipe..... thanks... qahtan

here it is  :)

for the filling:-

2 lb leeks
2 large red onions
1 oz butter
4 tab spoons olive oil
2 teaspoons caraway seeds (could use fennel instead)
4-5 pinches chilli powder (or to taste)

for the pastry top:-

12 oz potatoes
6 oz self raising flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 oz strong cheese such as a cheddar, grated
5 oz butter
1 egg yolk
1 tab spoon parmesan

trim the leeks and cut into 1 inch pieces - peel and roughly chop the onions - fry both gently in the oil and butter and add the caraway seeds - cook until softened - add salt and chilli - turn into a large but shallow over proof dish

peel the potatoes and either boil and steam until cooked and then mash and leave to cool - put the flour and salt into a mixing bowl and add the grated cheese, then add the butter cut into small pieces and rub in until you get the 'rough breadcrumb' type mix - work in the mashed potato and then using your hands take small balls of the mix and make into small scone like rounds and place on top of leek mixture - brush with beaten egg yolk, sprinkle over the parmesan and bake for 25 mins or until a rich golden brown

enjoy
