Fish pie with root vegetable topping

There’s more to mash than just potatoes – adding carrots and parsnips gives the topping a lovely sweet flavour that’s perfect with a creamy sauce.

Ingredients

2 carrots, peeled and cubed

2 parsnips, peeled and cubed

2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

35g butter

340g pack Asda Fish Pie Mix

240g pack Asda Boneless & Skinless River Cobbler Fillets, cut into chunks

225ml milk

1 small onion, finely sliced

15g plain flour

1/2 tsp dry mustard powder

25g 50% Less Fat Mature Cheese, grated

2 tbsp chopped parsley

Peas, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Put the carrots, parsnips and potatoes in a pan of water. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Drain, mash with 15g of the butter and season.
2
Put all the fish in a pan and pour over the milk. Add the onion and simmer for 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to lift the fish out and put in a baking dish, reserving the milk. Flake into chunks.
3
Melt the remaining 20g butter in another pan. Stir in the flour and mustard, to make a smooth paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4
Remove from the heat. Gradually add the reserved milk, whisking. Return to the heat and bring back to the boil, then simmer for 1 minute, whisking constantly.
5
Remove from the heat and add the cheese and parsley. Season to taste and pour over the fish.
6
Top with the mash and cook for 20-25 minutes. Serve with peas and carrots.
