    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

    Carrots, 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.
