Method
For Fish Pie:
1. Using a large pot, start by poaching the fish in milk until it is no longer translucent. Use enough milk to cover the fish. Once the fish is done, set it aside.
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter and add our to create a roux. Gradually add milk (from the poached fish) and whisk until the mixture is thick and smooth.
3. Add the grated cheese and continue to stir until the cheese has melted.
4. Add the cheese sauce and the fish to a pie dish and set aside to cool.
5. Roll out the puff pastry to fit the pie dish and place on top. Brush beaten egg on the puff pastry, so it crisps nicely on top.
6. Add the cheese sauce and the fish to a pie dish and set aside to cool. Cook in the oven for 45 min – 1 hour depending on the size of the dish.
7. Serve and enjoy!
For Vegetable Hash Side:
1. Chop the vegetables to roughly the same sized pieces.
2. Lay them out in a large baking tray. Add a good glug of olive oil and the salt, pepper, aromat and mixed herbs.
