Recipe for Fish Pie

On Wednesday night on Talking Sport, Bob Murray talks about fishing and reads out the reports from the various fishing ponds. With the fish caught you can cook and create a delicious meal.

Here is a recipe for Fish Pie.

Ingredients

1 Trout (3lbs-6lbs)
6oz Prawns
1 Handful of Cheddar cheese
1/2 Pint White Sauce
3 Carrots
6 Large potatoes
3 Good handfuls of Spinach
2 Eggs
1/4 pt Single Cream
1 Onion
3 Garlic Cloves

Method

Fillet the trout, remove shoulder bones and cut into pieces. (You can get the filleting instructions from this link:http://www.britishtrout.co.uk/prepara.htm)
Peel and quarter the potatoes and boil for10 minutes, place eggs in same pan to hard boil.
Mash potatoes roughly with olive oil and add salt and pepper seasoning.
Shell eggs and cut into slices.
Peel and slice onion. carrots and garlic and fry in olive oil until tender.
Wash and steam spinach for 4 minutes.
Now place trout, prawns, spinach, eggs, carrots, onions and garlic into a shallow casserole dish and mix well.
Make 1/2 pint of white sauce and add grated cheese to taste.
Pour over mixture in a casserole dish.
Now place the mashed potatoes on top and put into a hot oven (220) for 30 minutes.

Alternative quick method

Instead of filleting the trout, place the cleaned trout in a microwave and cook on full power for 2-4 minutes (depending on size)
Allow to cool for a few minutes and strip off the skin and the flesh should be easily removed from the bones.
Use already prepared mashed potatoes from the supermarket.
Use 1 pint of single cream heated with grated cheese instead of the white sauce.
Miss out onions, carrots and eggs, use garlic seasoning.

Enjoy.
