Time 12m

Yield about 2 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups warmed milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
pinch freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
2 ounces grated cheese, such as Gruyere
Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower or baby carrots, for accompaniment

Steps:

In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is pale yellow and frothy, about 1 minute. Do not allow the roux to brown. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Allow to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. This is now called a bechamel sauce, and may be used as is to top any number of dishes.
Stir in the cheese and whisk until melted. If the sauce seems to thick, thin with a little milk.
The sauce is now called a Mornay Sauce. Pour over steamed vegetables and serve immediately. If not using right away, cool, cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several days.

ENGLISH FISH MORNAY

English Fish Mornay image

A great way to use fish in the winter months, hearty and delicious. I use whatever fish is on sale or a large can of tuna (canned crabmeat works too). Snapper, flake and any other thicker style but delicate tasting fish fillet will do well for this recipe. A seafod mix would also work well, but I have not tried that yet.

Time 1h

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

40 g butter
1 onion, chopped fine
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons mild English mustard
500 g fish fillets, skin and bones removed, chopped into 1cm peices
1/2 cup cream
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cooked
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup grated tasty cheese
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large pan, fry the onions until tender (about 2 minutes).
Add the flour and cook for a full minute, add the milk and milk. Reduce the heat and whisk. Add the mustard and mix through.
Add the fish and simmer for 5 minutes stirring carefully. Add the cream and pour into a well buttered pie plate or shallow ceramic baking dish.
Top with the potato topping very carefully in small spoonfuls (so it doesn't sink to the bottom).
Top with the cheese and breadcrumbs and bake for 40 minutes at 180oC (360F).
Serve with bread and butter and steamed seasonal veggies.
To make topping:.
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl with the milk and butter. I like to use my hand beater to get it really smooth.
