MACARONI FISH PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the fish on buttered foil and sprinkle over the lemon juice and seasoning, then dot with butter. Make the fish into a parcel with the foil, sealing the edges carefully. Put 5 cups water in the pressure cooker, add a little salt and put the fish parcel in. Bring the water to the boil and add the macaroni. Put on the lid and slowly bring to HIGH (15 pounds) pressure. Cook for 4 minutes. Cheese Sauce: While the fish and macaroni are cooking, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a pan, stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the milk and seasoning. Return the pan to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. When the sauce has thickened, lower the heat and add the cheese, stirring until it melts. Reduce the cooker pressure according to manufacturer's directions until safe to open. Flake the fish and add to the sauce. Strain the macaroni and add it to the fish and sauce. Place the mixture in a buttered flame-proof dish and sprinkle with grated cheese and melted butter. Brown under a hot grill (broiler) and garnish with parsley. Serve with broccoli. This recipe yields 4 servings.

EASY FISH PIE (CHEESE FREE)

Steps:

• Put the kettle on and boil enough water for the potatoes.
• Peal, cut into small chunks and then boil the potatoes in one pan for 10-15 minutes, using knife to tell when tender.
• Put the oven onto gas mark 6.
• Dice the small onion then sauté for 1-2 minutes in teaspoon of olive oil in another pan.
• Then add the packet of fish pie mix and gently fry for 2 minutes in the onions and olive oil, make sure to not let the fish stick.
• Add the cup of milk.
• Add the tbsp of flour.
• Add the tbsp of mustard and stir the milk, flour and mustard thoroughly into the fish mixture. Mustard gives a nice flavour to the sauce without using cheese and also gives it a golden colour, you can omit this if you prefer a handful of cheese.
• Simmer for 5 minutes on low heat, stir occasionally to not let sitck.
• Then add cup of peas, stir and take off the heat.
• Drain potatoes thoroughly, add back to pan, pinch of salt and pepper and put over heat for 2 minutes while mashing to draw out and evaporate last of the water. Mash together with a drizzle (about a tablespoon) of olive oil (add butter if you prefer).
• Pour fish mix into oven proof dish.
• Carefully spoon over mash potatos and smooth out. I did a quick cross pattern in the mash to make it fluff up and give a nice texture when golden.
• Put into the oven for 40 minutes/until golden brown.
