Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower fish-pie

I prepared last sunday this fish pie and it was sooo good that I had to share the recipe! It certanly require some time but the difficulty is non-existent and really everybody can achieve a good result with a bit of dedication

Ingredients

500-700 gr of mixed fish (I just used white fish and was delicious but the ideal would be to mix haddock,salmon and cod)
500 gr of mixed seafood
1 kg of boiled potatoes
500 ml of fresh cream
500-800 ml of milk
1 kg of mixed frozen vegetables (carrots,broccoli,cauliflower)
1 bag (500 gr) of grated cheddar

Follow the recipe step by step and you will need very little washing up afterwards!

Add our vegetables with salted water into a big pot and bring to boil. As soon as the water is boiling take them off the hob and drain them



Peel the potatoes and boil them, until soft, in salted water, mash them using a bit of butter to soften the mashing



We now need to cook our fish fillets



We will cover the fish with milk and bring to boil, as soon as the first bubbles are forming we need to decrease the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes



Keep an eye on it, we don't want to turn the milk into cream.
Once the fish is cooked take it out from the milk, place it into an oven tin and break it into pieces



Add the seafood mix



I'm not going to cook it since it contains quite delicate fish and it will be cooked by the heat of the oven



add salt and pepper on top

Now you didn't throw away the milk didn't you?
Add the fresh cream some salt and pepper to the milk and start stirring while gradually adding some flour: stir until you reach the desired consistency



add the vegetables on top of the fish and again some salt and pepper



finally add our white sauce and mix



Now add a layer of mashed potatoes



and a layer of grated cheese



Bake for about 45 minutes at 200 degrees..



...buon appetito!!
