  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small onion, halved and sliced
  • 455g (1lb) of raw white firm fish (skin and bones removed), cut into bite size pieces
  • small pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons of dried parsley
  • 1 cup (240ml) of 2% milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) of chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon of salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup (85g) of frozen peas
  • salt and black pepper
  • olive oil spray
  • 800g (28oz) of white potatoes (or you can use a mixture of white and sweet, or carrot for variation)
  • 1 litre or chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 large egg
  • salt and black pepper
  • 80g (2oz) cheddar cheese, grated
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the potatoes in a saucepan and covering them with the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and can be easily broken apart with a fork. Drain and reserve the stock.
  2. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato ricer or masher. Gradually add reserved stock until you achieve a creamy texture, using about 100ml. Incorporate the egg and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
  3. Spray a pan with olive oil spray and add the sliced onion, frying until softened. Mix in the butter, milk, fish stock, nutmeg, parsley, and cornstarch, whisking until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer until it thickens. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  4. Add the bite-sized pieces of white fish and simmer gently for a couple of minutes until the fish begins to turn opaque. Remove from heat, stir in the frozen peas, and transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish.
  5. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan, 180°C, or 350°F (gas mark 4). Spoon the prepared mashed potato over the fish mixture, smoothing it out with the back of a fork. Sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese, spray with olive oil, and bake for about 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
  6. Serve the pie warm along with your favorite sides.
