👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan/Gas Mark 5). Place the diced potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes until tender but not falling apart. Drain well and set aside.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Par-boiling the potatoes ensures they cook through in the pie without becoming mushy. - 2
While the potatoes are cooking, melt 50g butter in a large saucepan or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook gently until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Sweating the leeks brings out their natural sweetness. - 3
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and fish stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Whisking continuously prevents lumps from forming in the sauce. - 4
Gently stir in the fish chunks, cooked potatoes, chopped dill, parsley, and lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper. If using a separate pie dish, transfer the mixture to it now.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Be careful not to break up the fish too much when stirring. - 5
For the topping, combine rolled oats, grated cheddar cheese, and the cold cubed butter in a bowl. Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Season with a little salt and pepper.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: The oat topping provides a lovely crunchy contrast to the creamy filling. - 6
Evenly scatter the oat and cheese topping over the fish and potato mixture. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: A baking sheet makes it easier to handle the hot pie dish and clean up. - 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Allowing the pie to rest helps the filling to set slightly.
💡 Consejos de Profesional
