Fish And Potato Pie Recipes

FISH, PRAWN AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• 1. To make the topping, cook the potatoes and garlic in simmering salted water for 20 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes well and mash with butter, milk, parmesan, sea salt and pepper. 2. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and stir well with a wooden spoon over low heat for one minute, without allowing to brown. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly, then the stock and simmer for five minutes. Add mustard, cream, paprika, cayenne, sea salt and pepper and simmer for one minute. 3. Heat the oven to 220C. Chop the fish and prawns into bite-sized chunks. Gently fold the fish and prawns into the sauce with the parsley and chives. Simmer for three minutes, then transfer to a large, buttered oven-proof gratin dish. 4. Cover the top with tablespoonfuls of mash, scatter with cheese and breadcrumbs, place on a tray and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve with a buttery braise of peas, leeks and bacon for extra warmth.

FISH PIE WITH POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain and mash with the nutmeg, cream, butter and some seasoning. Leave to cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks and chill until ready to use.

Add cream and return to the boil for 2 mins, then strain and return to the pan.

Fold through the peas, hard-boiled egg and herbs, season and add a little lemon juice. Portion the fish sauce into individual dishes or 1 large dish. Top with the mashed potato: either pipe on with a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle or simply spoon on top and rough up with a fork. Dot the top with a little extra butter, then bake for 15 mins for small dishes or 30 mins for a large one, until golden and bubbling.
