Easy Fish Pie Filling

My daughter loves fish (she is actually the only member of our family that does), she is returning home after being away for months so I've cooked her a welcome home pie knowing she probably hasn't had any goodness in her diet since she left 😂. I've used frozen ingredients to make it as cheap and easy as possible but you could obviously amend the recipe and use fresh fish if it's readily available to you.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

400 g

Frozen Fish Pie Mix

170 g

Frozen Prawns (cooked or raw)

1 Cup

White Wine

Large Cloves of Garlic

1/2

Large Onion finely diced

Small Carrots, peeled and finely diced

1 Cup

Frozen Peas

1 Cup

Boiling Water

1-2

Stock Cubes of Choice (I used 2 Chicken)

Tsp

Coarse Black Pepper

1/2 Tsp

Dried Sage

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Empty the frozen fish into a muslin cloth, hang overnight with a container underneath. This will remove any excess water. (You won't need to do this with fresh fish!)

* Step 2

When fish has defrosted, pour away the excess water, you won't need this unless you want to use it in the stock. Empty the fish into a glass bowl, pour over the wine, crush and add the garlic. Stir well, cover with cling film and allow to marinate for approximately 8 hours.

* Step 3

Chop the onion and carrots.

* Step 4

In a pan, add 20g Butter and 2 Tbsp Olive oil. Heat on a medium setting and gently fry the onion and carrot. Add the peas.

* Step 5

Prepare the stock (with 1 cup boiling water and 2 stock Cubes of choice) whilst the onions and carrots are softening.

* Step 6

Drain the fish (keep the wine and garlic marinade) and add the fish to the pan. Continue to fry on a medium heat for a further 5 minutes.

* Step 7

Add the stock and the wine marinade to the pan, also add the pepper and sage and simmer on a low heat for 1/2 an hour.

* Step 8

When reduced, mix 1tbsp of flour (or thickener of choice) with a small amount of water to make a paste. Slowly pour into the mix, stirring continuously until desired thickness has been achieved.
