Number Of Ingredients 14

450g undyed smoked haddock fillet, skinned
1 bay leaf
850ml milk
25g butter
1 onion , finely chopped
1 tbsp plain flour
1 garlic clove , crushed
1 red pepper , seeded and roughly chopped
125ml dry sherry
pinch of paprika
225g floury potato , peeled and diced
100g frozen or canned sweetcorn kernels
fresh parsley
hot garlic bread

Steps:

  • Put the fish in a frying pan with the bay leaf and milk. Bring to a simmer, then cover and set aside for 10 mins. Lift out the fish with a slotted spoon, flake roughly, discarding any bones, and strain the milk.
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan and cook the onion over a low heat for 3-4 mins until softened. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for a minute, then tip in the garlic and red pepper and cook for a further 5 mins. Now stir in the sherry and simmer until almost all the liquid has disappeared.
  • Add the paprika and potatoes, pour in the poaching milk and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 15 mins, add the sweetcorn and cook for 5 mins more. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the fish. To serve, scatter over some chopped fresh parsley and accompany with the garlic bread.
