FEAST OF THE SEVEN FISHES PIE

Steps:

• Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish or casserole. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then stir in leeks and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook until soft, stirring frequently, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and anchovies and cook 1 minute, until the anchovies dissolve. Add wine and bring to a boil, then let simmer until the wine evaporates almost completely. Remove from heat and scrape into a heatproof bowl.
• In the same skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook until pale golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken stock and clam juice, and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Simmer for 1 to 3 minutes until very thick (it will thin out as it bakes), then remove from heat.
• Pat the fish cubes, shrimp and scallops dry. Stir them into the sauce along with the sautéed leeks, peas, tarragon, parsley, capers and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Spoon mixture into prepared dish.
• Chill uncovered, for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight.
• Before baking, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together egg with 1 teaspoon water. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry dough. Roll it 1/8-inch thick. Use a fish cutter or paring knife to cut out a fish from the center of dough. (Alternatively, you can cut circles from the dough and overlap them on top of the pie to look like fish scales).

SEAFOOD PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, cornmeal and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse to blend. Cut 6 tablespoons of the butter in 1/2-inch bits, scatter them over the flour mixture, and pulse until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Sprinkle the water over this mixture, and pulse again, about 25 to 30 times, until a ball of dough forms. Shape it into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Place the wine in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add the mussels. Cover and steam 5 to 8 minutes, until they open. Remove the mussels from the pan, reserving the liquid. Shuck the mussels into a bowl. Mix with the monkfish, and refrigerate.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add the parsnips and blanch for 4 minutes. Drain.
• Heat the remaining butter in a heavy skillet. Add the onion, carrots and celery, and cook over medium heat until nicely browned, about 20 minutes. Add the reserved liquid from the mussels, the parsnips and apricots. Place 1/2 cup of this mixture in a food processor, and puree it; then, return it to the skillet. Stir in the mussels and fish, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide this mixture among 4 small souffle dishes, each about 12 ounces, or place the mixture in a 6-cup souffle dish or baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out the dough, and cut 5-inch circles if using individual dishes, or roll it to cover a single baking dish. Moisten the edges and place it over the fish, pressing the moistened edges down on the edge of the dish to seal. Cut a couple of slits in the top, brush with the milk and bake about 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
