Fill yer boots! Fish Pie with hidden vegetables

For any of you lucky enough to have a teenager in your life you'll appreciate my love of cheap, nutritious and most importantly, filling, meals. 

My teenager has evolved from a fussy snacker into a human dustbin. He bursts through the front door at the end of the school day & right on cue, asks "how long 'til dinner?". It's like he has a hunger that never goes.

One of my favourite teen filler uppers is fish pie. I make it the day before and yes economy fish to keep costs down, as a lot of the flavour is lost in the sauce & with the extra vegetables, I feel I can get get away with being thrifty. 

Ingredients; 

Maris Piper potatoes

2 Grated Carrots

2 Handfuls of Spinach

Handful of peas

Finely Chopped onion (stops tween picking them out)

2 hard boiled eggs

300ml Double cream

White fish

Smoked cod or haddock

Grated cheese

Lemon juice 

Fresh parsley

Teaspoon English mustard

Method;

• Preheat oven to 180

• Peel potatoes, cube and put in boiling water along with the eggs. 
• In a large frying pan, fry up the onion & carrots until soft.

• Turn heat off & add the cream
• Add lemon juice, salt & pepper, grated cheese, spinach, chopped parsley. 
• Put in  an oven proof dish add the fish, chopped boiled eggs, top with the mashed potatoes and top with cheese. 
• 
  
•  Bake in a pre heated oven on gas mark 180 for an 1/2 hour or longer if you've  made it the day before.  

          

If you look really closely you can see a map of Europe.

• Serve up to your eagerly awaiting family 

              

Burnt, crispy bits optional!

And smile smugly to your self knowing you've got 3 of their 5 a day and a few portions of fish in with out them even realising. 

Ready to serve.
If you're really brave, or have children without a vegetable aversion, you can serve  extra portions. 

You can add salmon, prawns or just use a fish pie mix. 

Anything goes really! 

With love from lovely Devon
