Ingredients
Pie filling
- 400 g Cod frozen
- 150 ml Crème fraîche
- 400 ml Skimmed milk
- 60 g Spinach chopped
- 120 g Mushrooms diced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 70 g Light mature cheddar grated
- 100 g Frozen sweetcorn
- 100 g Frozen peas
Potato topping
- 800 g Potatoes peeled and chopped
- 100 ml Skimmed milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Cook the 400 g Cod into the preheated oven. Once cooked, remove and flake.
- Put 800 g Potatoes on to boil.
- Add 120 g Mushrooms and 60 g Spinach to a pan and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes.
- Add 400 ml Skimmed milk, 150 ml Crème fraîche, 70 g Light mature cheddar and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Mix well and heat until the cheese has melted.
- Add the flaked fish, 100 g Frozen peas and 100 g Frozen sweetcorn to the pan and mix well.
- Transfer the fish mixture to an ovenproof dish.
- Mash the potato with 100 ml Skimmed milk and 1 tablespoon Butter and put on top of the fish mixture.
- Use a fork to spread the potato over the fish, making grooves in the potato.
Notes
- Don’t over-flake the fish - big chunks keep it juicy.
- Season the mash well, as you don't want a bland pie.
- Let it rest 5 minutes after baking so the filling sets slightly.
- Use a deep dish to avoid sauce bubbling over in the oven.
