Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Boil or steam the diced kumara until tender. Drain well and mash lightly.
â±ïž 20 minutes - 2
While kumara is cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
â±ïž 5 minutes - 3
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
â±ïž 5 minutes - 4
Remove sauce from heat. Stir in the flaked smoked fish, mashed kumara, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
đĄ Proffstips: Be cautious with salt as smoked fish can be salty. - 5
Line a pie dish with one sheet of pastry. Pour the fish and kumara mixture into the pastry-lined dish. Cover with the second sheet of pastry, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few vents in the top.
đĄ Proffstips: Ensure the pastry is well-sealed to prevent leaks. - 6
Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
â±ïž 35 minutesđĄ Proffstips: If the pastry starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
