This is the first recipe I have ever made that is from British chef Jamie Oliver. In his words This recipe is for one of the best fish pies I have ever made and it's incredibly quick to do . I never had a fish pie before so this was a first time experiment. Read more . The pie was definitely quite delicious but not quick. LOL Ingredients:
5 large potatoes, peeled and diced |
2 eggs |
2 large handfuls of fresh spinach |
1 onion, finely chopped |
1 carrot, halved and finely chopped |
1 little extra-virgin olive oil |
1 1/4 cups of heavy cream |
2 good handfuls of grated cheddar cheese |
juice of 1 lemon |
1 heaped tsp english mustard or french will do |
1 pound haddock, cod or other white fish, skinned, boned and sliced into strips |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Put the potatoes into a pan of salted, boiling water.
3. Bring back to the boil for 10 minutes.
4. At the same time, hard boil the 2 eggs.
5. Steam the spinach in a colander over the pan that has the potatoes.
6. This will only take about a minute.

10. Put to one side.

14. Remove from the heat and add the Cheddar cheese, lemon juice, and mustard.
15. Put the spinach, fish and eggs in an decent sized casserole dish with a lid and mix together.
16. Pour over this mixture the creamy vegetable sauce.
