Poach a mixture of fresh salmon, smoked haddock and cod in 600 ml milk till tender and flaky. ( I bought 200 g of fish pie mix from Morrisons fishmongers to which I added two cans of canned tuna)
Meanwhile boil some potatoes, I use lots because I love mashed pots.
When the fish is cooked, usually about ten minutes, drain off the milk and put the fish in a bowl.
Make a roux with 50 g butter / 50g plain flour.
Re-heat the milk to boiling and add the flour mix, whisking like mad all the time, till you have a smooth sauce.
Add the fish and two cans of tuna, drained.
Gently fold in.
Season with salt, pepper, grated nutmeg and lots of fresh chopped parsley.
Pour into baking dish and top with buttery mashed potatoes.
Bake till bubbling and mash is slightly browned, about 45 minutes.
I always serve this with peas and tomatoes. Bit unoriginal but it's the taste that matters!
For pudding...
Ice cream.
Gloria, we know you have a lot on your mind just now, but just in case it's a test, can I ask why is it called Fish and Egg Pie when there is no egg mentioned in the recipe? :-))
ReplyDeleteI forgot!,
ReplyDeleteAfter putting the fish mix in the baking dish simply lay some sliced hard boiled eggs on top then cover with mashed potatoes.
