For the pie
Add the olive oil to a large saucepan on medium heat. Fry the leeks and garlic for 2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, herbs, salt and pepper and stir for a minute. Place the lid on top and cook for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter on medium heat. Add the flour and stir until combined. Slowly add the milk, a tablespoon at a time and whisk, until you have a smooth, thick mixture. Stir in the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked leeks and mushrooms with the sauce and leave to cool completely.
Make sure your puff pastry is at room temperature and preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
Add the leek and mushroom mixture to a pie dish and top with the puff pastry, cutting off any excess pastry around the edges.
Crimp the edges using a fork and score a criss-cross pattern on the top with a sharp knife. Brush the top of the pie with dairy-free milk to help it brown.
Cook for 25 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.
For the potatoes
Add the garlic olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt into a large roasting tin. Add the potatoes and toss to coat fully before roasting for 30 minutes.
Add the asparagus (with a little extra olive oil, if needed). Toss to coat and cook for a further 10 minutes. Season with extra balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, if liked.
