Best Fantastic Fish Pie Recipes

FANTASTIC FISH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/gas 8.
• Put the potatoes into salted boiling water and bring back to the boil for 2 minutes.
• Carefully add the eggs to the pan and cook for a further 8 minutes until hard boiled, by which time the potatoes should also be cooked.
• At the same time steam the spinach in a colander above the pan. This will only take a minute. When the spinach is done, remove from the colander and gently squeeze any excess moisture away.
• Then drain the potatoes in the colander.
• Remove the eggs, cool under cold water, then peel and quarter them. Place to one side.
• In a separate pan slowly fry the onion and carrot in a little olive oil for about 5 minutes, than add the double cream and bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the cheese, lemon juice, mustard and parsley.
• Put the spinach, fish and eggs into an appropriately sized earthenware dish and mix together, pouring over the creamy vegetable sauce.
• The cooked potatoes should be drained and mashed - add a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and a touch of nutmeg if you like. Spread on top of the fish. Don't bother piping it to make it look pretty - it's a homely hearty thing.
• Place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden.

FANTASTIC FISH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the potatoes into a pan of salted, boiling water. Bring back to the boil for 10 minutes. At the same time, hard boil the 2 eggs. Steam the spinach in a colander over the pan that has the potatoes. This will only take about a minute. When the spinach is done, remove from the colander and squeeze out excess water. Remove the eggs from pan. Cool under cold water and peel and quarter them. Put to one side. Drain the potatoes in the colander. In a separate pan, slow-fry the onions and carrots in a little olive oil for about 8-10 minutes. Add the cream and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the Cheddar cheese, lemon juice, and mustard. Put the spinach, fish and eggs in an decent sized casserole dish with a lid and mix together. Pour over this mixture the creamy vegetable sauce. Mash the cooked potatoes - adding a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes on top of the fish. Place in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Bake at 450 degrees. I served this fish pie with a loaf of fresh Italian bread and a homemade Cheddar cheese soup found on this site.
