No Fuss Fish Pie Recipes

EASY FISH PIE (CHEESE FREE)

Steps:

• Put the kettle on and boil enough water for the potatoes.
• Peal, cut into small chunks and then boil the potatoes in one pan for 10-15 minutes, using knife to tell when tender.
• Put the oven onto gas mark 6.
• Dice the small onion then sauté for 1-2 minutes in teaspoon of olive oil in another pan.
• Then add the packet of fish pie mix and gently fry for 2 minutes in the onions and olive oil, make sure to not let the fish stick.
• Add the cup of milk.
• Add the tbsp of flour.
• Add the tbsp of mustard and stir the milk, flour and mustard thoroughly into the fish mixture. Mustard gives a nice flavour to the sauce without using cheese and also gives it a golden colour, you can omit this if you prefer a handful of cheese.
• Simmer for 5 minutes on low heat, stir occasionally to not let sitck.
• Then add cup of peas, stir and take off the heat.
• Drain potatoes thoroughly, add back to pan, pinch of salt and pepper and put over heat for 2 minutes while mashing to draw out and evaporate last of the water. Mash together with a drizzle (about a tablespoon) of olive oil (add butter if you prefer).
• Pour fish mix into oven proof dish.
• Carefully spoon over mash potatos and smooth out. I did a quick cross pattern in the mash to make it fluff up and give a nice texture when golden.
• Put into the oven for 40 minutes/until golden brown.
