Fish Prawn 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.

PRAWN & POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Peel and cube the potatoes. Cook in a pan of boiling water for 15 mins or until tender. Drain and mash with 4 tbsp olive oil until smooth. Season to taste. Heat the cheese sauce in a pan, stir through the prawns and spinach, and cook gently for 1-2 mins. Spoon the mixture into a medium pie dish and top with the mash. Pop under a hot grill and cook for 6 mins until golden and the filling is bubbling.

DOMINO POTATO, COD, PRAWN & CHORIZO PIE

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, tip into a pan of cold water and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat, leave the potatoes in the water for 1 min, then drain and leave to cool in a colander. The potatoes should still feel firm and hold their shape. Put the cod in a wide, deep pan and pour over the milk. Add 2 bay leaves and saffron and bring to a gentle simmer, cover with a lid, then lower the heat and cook for 2 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the pan to continue cooking for 5 mins more.
• Heat the oil and butter in another large pan, add the onion and fennel and cook for 10 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the garlic and chorizo, stir until the oils are released, then stir in the flour.
• Remove the fish from the milk and set aside the bay leaves. Add the milk to the chorizo pan bit by bit, stirring between additions, until you have a smooth, thick sauce. Stir in the parsley, season and remove from the heat.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pour half of the sauce into a large casserole dish. Flake the fish into large chunks and scatter over the sauce. Add the prawns and spoon over the rest of the sauce.
• Stack 5-6 potato slices together and trim off the edges to create a rectangle- don't worry if it's not perfect. Continue making stacks of rectangular potatoes until they're all used up. Scatter the trimmings over the sauce, then arrange the slices on top in a domino pattern, fanning them out to cover the surface. Tuck the reserved bay leaves and four others in among the potatoes, season and drizzle with oil. Bake for 45 mins until the potatoes are tender and golden and the sauce is bubbling up around the edges. Serve with green veg or salad.

FISH PIE WITH MASHED POTATO TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Oil an oven-proof baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place white fish in the baking dish and pour in enough milk to cover the fish halfway.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, bake fish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain off milk into a liquid measure; reserve for potatoes. Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Place on the stove to evaporate any extra water. Add butter, salt, and pepper and mash potatoes for 1 minute. Add reserved milk, a little at a time, and keep mashing until smooth and creamy. Gently stir in thawed peas, being careful not to crush them.
• Flake white fish into small pieces in the baking dish. Add flaked salmon and stir to evenly disperse. Drop spoonfuls of mashed potatoes on top of the fish; spread evenly to cover. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the oven for 20 more minutes.
