Creamy fish pie

Serves:

6

Ingredients

• 800 g potato (chopped)
• 1/4 cup light milk
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 2 celery stick (sliced)
• 1 onion (large, grated)
• 1 carrot (large, grated)
• 1 zucchini (large, grated)
• 1 cup peas
• 180 g white cabbage (roughly chopped)
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock (liquid)
• 2 tbs light cream
• 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
• 600 g white fish fillet (cubed)
• 200 g smoked cod (cubed)
• 3/4 cup reduced-fat tasty cheese (grated)

Method

Heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and lightly spray a large casserole dish with oil.

Place potatoes in a medium-large saucepan, cover with water, season with a little salt and bring to the boil.

Reduce heat and simmer potatoes for about 10-12 minutes until soft and ready for mashing.

Mash potatoes well, adding milk to loosen the mixture.

While potatoes are cooking, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and add celery, onion, carrot and zucchini with a pinch of salt. Cook vegetables on medium-low heat for 5 minutes until softened.

Add peas, cabbage and stock and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper.

Toss through fish and pour into prepared casserole dish. Top with mashed potato, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 40 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve with a big green salad or your favourite vegetables.
