This is my go to weeknight dinner when I need something comforting but don't have much time. Pork meatballs paired with soft leeks make such a satisfying combination, and leeks are fantastic for your digestion thanks to their prebiotic fibre. The beauty of this casserole is that it comes together in just 35 minutes from start to finish, and most of the ingredients are things I keep in my freezer, so there's minimal prep involved. The creamy celeriac mash is the perfect topping that makes it feel like proper home cooking without any fuss.
