Ingredients

  • 120g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 150ml skimmed milk
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 100g cod fillet, skinned and boned
  • 1 small leek, thickly sliced
  • 3 tbsp hot stock
  • 2 tsp plain flour
  • 100g peeled, cooked prawns
  • 1 tbsp frozen peas
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas 6.
  2. Cook the sweet potato in a pan of boiling water until tender. Drain well, mash with a splash of the milk and season with black pepper.
  3. Put the cod in a pan, cover with the rest of the milk and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, simmer for 4-5 mins then strain, reserving the milk. Cut the fish into chunks.
  4. Cook the leek in the stock in a non-stick pan for 5 mins, until tender. Stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute and gradually add the reserved milk, stirring until the sauce thickens. Add the cod, prawns, peas and parsley. Season with black pepper.
  5. Spoon into a deep ovenproof dish and top with the sweet potato. Bake for 15-20 mins, until crisp on top.

 

Tip

A prepared fish-pie mixture is handy for this recipe – it usually contains cod or smoked haddock with salmon and prawns. Lovely served with a crisp green salad.
