Fish Pie

This is a classic British dish and is one of the ultimates in comfort food. You would not believe how much of this a toddler can eat!

Fish Pie
Serves 4 - 5 pts each

2 medium fillets cod
2 medium fillets smoked haddock
1 1/2 lb potatoes
1 pint skimmed milk
6 oz Low Fat Mature Cheese
2 level teaspoon cornflour
1 level teaspoon English mustard

Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water. In a wide and shallow bowl place the milk and fish and bring to the boil. Cover tightly with a lid and turn the heat off. The fish will poach in the heat of the milk.

When the fish is cool enough to handle fake it and put into an oven proof dish. Use the poaching liquid to make a cheese sauce by heating with the cornflour until it boils and thickens, remove form the heat and add 3/4 of the cheese stirring constantly. When the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce add the mustard and stir again. Pour the sauce over the flaked fish and stir gently to ensure all the fish is covered in sauce.

Once the potato is cooked drain and mash mixing in the rest of the cheese. Top the fish and sauce with the potato. When you are doing this always start at the outside and work inwards otherwise the weight of the potato will push the sauce out over the sides of the dish.

Score a pattern on the top of the potato and brown under a hot grill. Serve on it's own or with green vegetables.
