Ingredients

  • 75g butter

  • 1 fennel bulb, finely sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 25g plain flour
  • 300ml fish stock
  • 3 tbsp crème fraîche

  • 1.25kg floury potatoes, such as maris piper, cubed
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 50g Parmesan or Grana Padano

Method: How to make smoked haddock, prawn and fennel fish pies

1. Heat 25g of the butter in a medium pan until melted and foaming. Add the onion, fennel and garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, until it begins to thicken. Gradually pour in the fish stock, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche.

2. Season, then stir in the haddock, prawns, capers and herbs. Set aside.

Tip:

Freeze at the start of step 5. Defrost completely and continue with the recipe.

3. Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain well and return to the pan with the remaining butter, milk, seasoning and half the cheese. Mash well until smooth.

4.Spoon the filling into 6 x 350ml ovenproof dishes. Top with the potato and the remaining cheese.

5.Cool, then freeze (see tip) or preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6 and bake the pies for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is cooked.
