A Serious Fish Pie instructions
- Fry the Shallots and garlic in a little butter..
- Cut the fish into bite size chunks. Microwave in a covered dish until lightly cooked..
- In a separate pan, use the butter, flour and milk to make a rue..
- To the rue add the cheese, pepper, herbs, chives, lemon juice and zest, fish and shallots/garlic. Mix well but gently - try and keep the fish chunks from breaking up..
- Butter the inside of the pie dish..
- Take the pastry sheet and cut around the top of the pie dish to make the pie lid. Take a small serving plate and cut around this to make a larger pastry circle that will form the base of the pie..
- Push the pastry base into the pie dish. Remove excess pastry from around the edge of the dish, making sure you leave pastry on the lip of the dish..
- Add the filling. Then brush some beaten egg around the edge of the base where the lid will sit..
- Add the lid. Push down with your thumb all along the edge, sealing the lid against the base..
- Brush egg over the top of the pie. Then take a sharp knife and make a couple of small holes in the lid to allow steam/pressure to escape..
- Bake in a medium-heat oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is a deep golden brown..
- Serve with a lemon wedge and seasonal vegetables of your choice..
