Hi guys, ok, were going to make a super easy and delicious italian style fish pie. You're going to love it and I'm going to bigging up my beautiful bake ware range
So nice thing about this recipe is it's really simple to do. I've got some mashed potato here
just simply mashed, boiled, peeled potatoes
mash it up with a bit of milk and butter
and salt. So that's done. Now the first job that I'm going to do is I'm going to kind of create a really delicious tomato salad
just nice little mouth piece sizes. Were just going to put those into the bowl.
Then you want to season it nice and generously with salt
and pepper.
So that's your basic seasoning, just toss the tomatoes up with the salt and pepper
Were going to go in with the zest and the juice of one lemon
I'm going to go in with about the same amount of extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil
about 3 or 4 tablespoons ok
I want to get one clove of garlic. I'm going to use spring onions because if I put sort of raw onion in there I don't feel they're going to cook the time that this beautiful dish is going to cook.
So I'm going to finely slice those
I'm now going to slice up a chilli. Taste your chillis, see how hot they are
and you just it very subtle ok, so I'm going to use half a chilli here
and in it goes with the tomatoes
and then I'm going to hit it with a nice big handful of basil, and some parsley. Its beautiful, beautiful to use herbs
So I'll just roll them up like that, it smells incredible
So in we go
So I'm going to mix this up. Now what's beautiful, is were going to let this sit for about 10/15/20 minutes
and what you'll get is the juices coming out of that, and actually what weve made there is a dressing that going to be so good
but at the same time we don't want that liquid in our fish pie
because it's just going to be nice ok?
So what were going to do is were going to let that sort of just macerate and all those beautiful flavours mix up
ok, then we'll drain it and we'll have dressing on one side and a beautiful light summery tomato salsa on the other
which will cook with the fish and mash potato and its going to be a fantastic, fantastic Fish Pie
So over there we've got some lovely lemon sole, plaice and prawns
you can really pick the fish that you like, and also it can work to any budget ok
So I'm going to slice up the prawns, like that
and that goes into our dish
with the plaice. I'm just going to slice them in half and I'm just going to roll them up
like a little rose. OK, whats the point in doing this? Well, when you actually dig in there later it's going to look and feel and cook completely different to the chunks of prawns
So with the lemon sole what I'll do here is I'll just lay that in and out like threads, beautiful.
OK, so we've got the fish there, the tomatoes have been macerating beautifully
I'm just going to drain that into my nice salad bowl here then move them over to the fish. Just sprinkle those on the top
like that
And what I want to it kind of just use my fingers to just kind of push and tuck in the tomatoes in and around the fish.
So what you end up with is a lovely dressing, you can put a little bit more olive oil in there, look at that
It's so fresh, it's so good
Two more ingredients to finish this
and they're classic Italian ingredients
So I'm going to use about 100/150 grams of creme fresh
50/60 grams of pecorino
not to make it cheesy I'm using it like a seasoning
So this is one of my Jamie Oliver piping bags, basically snip off the end, I just unscrew this part here
and then i push this in this side
slip that on like that, and then load it up with potato
Take the edge up like that and just sort of shake it down, pinch the top and just twist it around and then you are fully loaded and ready to go.
And then you can do any piping you want, I'm simply going to pipe it in the simplest form which is up and down.
By having these little nozzles like that, it creates those beautiful lines and that means more crispy bits.
Wack this in the oven for about half an hour
until this potato is golden and crisp and gorgeous. Lets let that cook and then I'll show you how to serve it up.
I've got some really basic everyday salad leaves here like a round lettuce, cheapest lettuce in the world. I've got some baby spinach
some rocket, because we're on that sort of Italian vibe
What's amazing is you get kind of flavours that kind of smell like the greenhouse in that dressing. Really, really good
Really, really lovely
Topped off with a big old wadge of vibrant salad
What's really nice is it just cooks so well together, its very light and fresh, really, really good
Absolutely gorgeous, you've got to give that a go
