"Pancakes are a cinch to make, and even easier to dress up! Load up with a mushroom and leek filling bursting with flavour, add a gooey cheese melt, and you’ve created a surefire mealtime hit", says Derek Sarno, Tesco's director of plant-based innovation. See method

Melt 15g butter-alternative in a large, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Arrange the mushrooms in an even layer in the pan and cook, undisturbed, for 5 mins. Stir and cook for another 4-5 mins until well browned and crispy. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the garlic and 2 tbsp water; season. Cook for 2 mins more, then scrape into a bowl and set aside.
Increase the heat to medium and melt another 15g butter-alternative. Add the leeks, season, cover and cook for 6 mins, stirring halfway through. Stir in the lemon, garlic & herb seasoning (if using), then transfer to a separate bowl and set aside.
Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C and wipe out the frying pan with kitchen paper. Mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, milk-alternative and lemon juice, then stir into the flour mix until just smooth, being careful not to overmix.
Melt half the remaining butter- alternative in the pan over a medium heat and swirl to coat the pan. Pour 2 heaped tbsp batter into the centre of the pan and use the back of a spoon to spread into a 12cm round. Cook for 2 mins or until bubbles begin to appear in the centre and the sides look tacky. Flip and cook for 1-2 mins until cooked through. Transfer to a baking tray and repeat to make 3 more pancakes.
Divide the leeks between the pancakes, then top with the cheese-alternative and mushrooms. Bake in the oven for 10 mins until the cheese has melted. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter-alternative in the frying pan and cook the last 4 pancakes as before.
Top the pancake stacks with avocado and chives, if you like, and sandwich with the remaining pancakes to serve.
Tip: Shiitake stems are tough and don't fry well, but they can be added to soups, stocks and broths for a rich umami boost.
