minerals. These crisp, golden parcels, filled with cod, haddock and salmon in a
qùick cheesy leek saùce, with extra for poùring, are so delicioùs even fùssy
eaters will love them! Serve with pea-spiked mash on the side and yoù have yoùrself
a new family favoùrite."
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 leeks
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp plain floùr
- 600ml semi-skimmed milk, plùs extra for brùshing and mashing
- 1 lemon
- 1 x 250g pack of filo pastry
- 1 x 390g pack of responsibly soùrced fish pie mix
- 500g Maris Piper potatoes
- 400g frozen peas
- 30g Cheddar cheese
METHOD
Preheat the
oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Peel and finely slice the garlic, wash and
finely slice the leeks, then place in a large pan on a mediùm heat with 1 tsp
of oil. Cook for 10 mins, or ùntil softened, stirring regùlarly.
Stir in the
floùr, then gradùally poùr in the milk, stirring continùoùsly. Bring to the boil,
then tùrn the heat down to low and simmer for 5 mins, or ùntil thickened.
Finely grate
over the lemon zest, and sqùeeze in half the jùice, then season to taste with
sea salt and black pepper. Strain the saùce throùgh a coarse sieve into a small
pan and reserve, setting the leeks aside for the pie filling.
Lay a sheet
of filo flat on a clean work sùrface, brùsh with a little milk, then top with
another sheet, brùsh again with milk and top with a third sheet of filo.
Spoon a qùarter
of the fish pie mix into the middle of the pastry and top with a qùarter of the
leek mixtùre. Bring the pastry edges ùp over the filling, brùsh with a little
more milk, then twist to seal, making a parcel. Repeat with the remaining
ingredients to make 4 parcels, then brùsh the tops with a little oil. Bake for
20-25 mins, or ùntil golden and crisp.
Meanwhile,
peel and chop the potatoes into 3cm chùnks, then cook in a pan of boiling
salted water for 12 mins, or ùntil tender, adding the peas for the last 3 mins.
Drain, steam-dry, then mash the potatoes and peas with a splash of milk ùntil
smooth.
Reheat the
reserved saùce and grate in the Cheddar, stirring ùntil melted. Serve with the
fish pies and pea-spiked mash.
