BRITISH COMFORT FOOD...WONDERFUL, FISH PIE......STEP BY STEP PHOTOS

Here is the ultimate British comfort food..white firm fish cooked in milk with leeks, bay laurel, parsley and lots of love, topped with buttery mashed potatoes and Cheddar cheese

CHOPPED LEEKS, PARSLEY STALKS, BAY LAUREL, CARROTS AND ONIONS IN MILK, bring to boil and simmer until the liquid is reduced by 1/2, remove vegetables and use this to poach the fish

AFTER REMOVING VEGETABLES POACHING LIQUOR

THE FISH FILLETS (SWAI) PREPARED AS IN THE GREAT GRANNY Diet book

Poached for 20 mins on low simmer and drained from liquor, with more vegetable added

Baby potatoes, carrots and celery cooked very well in vegetable stock, this is added to the cooked fish

Make  a roux with butter and flour and add the hot liquor, adding fresh chopped parsley


The vegetables and the parsley sauce, will be allowed to cool and chill overnight

The fish base now ready to top with buttery mashed potatoes cooked with scallions and topped with Grated Cheddar cheese, ready for delivery

To  be baked at client's home 350F for 30 mins on a lined cookie sheet until cheese is melted and pie is bubbling


Use any firm fleshed fish fillets and cook in seasoned milk. Also best when using dairy butter. You may also add any cooked vegetable, this is great with cooked and drained kale or spinach, garden peas, omit the cheese and add top with sliced tomatoes.
This is a complete meal.
