Ingredients

  • 2 cups potatoes (450g) peeled & chopped
  • ¾ cup carrots (100g) peeled & chopped
  • ¾ cup swede/rutabaga/yellow turnip (100g) peeled & chopped
  • 1 ⅔ cups skimmed milk (400ml)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon low fat spread/light margarine (25g)
  • 1 ¼ tablespoons all purpose flour (25g)
  • 4 spring onions / green onion finely sliced
  • cups fish (350g) - skin removed, deboned and cut into bite size chunks
  • ½ cup shrimp / prawns (150g)
  • 1 cup peas (150g)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 200°C / 400°F
  • Place the chunks of potato, carrot and swede into a saucepan of boiling water and bring to the boil. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until the veg is tender. Drain well and set aside.
  • Measure the milk into a jug and add the chopped spring onion. Set aside for the flavours to infuse.
  • Whilst the vegetables are cooking, put the flour and low fat spread/light margarine in a saucepan and heat, stirring continuously until the spread has melted and it has combined with the flour to make a thickish paste (roux).
  • Continue to cook for a further 1 minutes before slowly whisking in the milk & onion bit by bit. Do this slowly to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and cook for a further 3 - 4 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Turn off the heat and then stir in the mustard and a little salt & pepper.
  • Add the chunks of fish, the shrimp and the peas and stir till they are all coated with the sauce.
  • Spoon into a 4 serving casserole dish.
  • Use a potato masher (or a potato ricer - my preference) to mash the cooked potatoes, swede and carrots into a smooth mash. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Now, you can either pipe the vegetable mash on top of the fish (like I did) or you can distribute spoonfuls of it over the fish base and use a fork to carefully spread it out.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes until the vegetable mash has turned a little crispy and golden and the filling is bubbling hot!
  • Serve with garden peas or sweetcorn.
