Fish Pie gets Top Marks


I have to say that I was quietly confident on Saturday evening that my fish pie would go down a storm. It's a pie that has had rave reviews over the years, and is often requested when folks come to visit. It is amazing how good it tastes when you see how easy it is to make.




Wheat Free Yes Gluten Free Yes
Makes 6

Ingredients 
2 large cooked fish fillets (trout or salmon)
Large handful cooked King Prawns
2 boiled eggs
5 medium sized potatoes (cooked and mashed)
1/2 bag spinach
1 carrot (cut into small chunks)
1 onion (finely chopped)
1 pot reduced fat creme fraiche
2 large handfuls grated cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
Handful flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)


 
Method 

1. In a large oven dish roughly chop the fish and eggs. Scatter the prawns through it.
2. In a pan slowly cook the onions and carrots. I find it's best if the carrots are softened first in the microwave as they take a lot longer to cook than the onions.
3. Once cooked, add the creme fraiche, cheese, lemon and parsley and stir until the cheese has melted. Pour over the fish.
4. Lightly wilt the spinach and lay over the pie mixture.
5. Cover the pie with the mashed potato
6. Cook in a preheated oven at 170o for approximately 45min (or until the potato starts to brown and the pie bubbles.
7. Serve with a nice salad and some warm crusty bread.
8. Enjoy!

My guests looking very happy (That, however, may be due to champagne and not pie!).
