Fish Pie
Who doesn’t love a classic fish pie 😍 This is the perfect recipe to feed a family of 4-6 people.
The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are: 1kg Maris Piper potatoes, 400ml milk, 25g butter, 25g plain flour, 4 spring onions, 1 pack fish pie mix, 1 tsp English mustard, a small bunch of chives, a handful of frozen sweetcorn, a handful of frozen petits pois and a handful of grated cheddar.
- Start by preheating the oven to 180°C and then peel and halve the potatoes. Place into a saucepan with some water, making sure there is enough to cover the potatoes.
- Bring the potatoes to boil and simmer until they are tender. When they are ready, drain and mash them with a splash of milk and butter before seasoning with black pepper.
- Next, put the butter, plain flour and 4 finely sliced spring onions into another pan, heating until the butter has melted and everything is mixed.
- Whisk in the milk and bring to boil, ensuring there aren’t any lumps and that it isn’t sticking to the pan. Cook until thickened.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the mixed fish, English mustard, a bunch of snipped chives, sweetcorn and petits pois and then spoon into an ovenproof dish.
- Add the potato on top with some grated cheddar cheese and finally place into the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden. Then it will be ready to serve! 😋
