Jamie's Sweet pea fish pie

1 kg potatoes
1 lemon
40 g unsalted butter
400 g frozen peas
2 carrots
2 onions
olive oil
500 ml semi-skimmed milk
2 x 150 g frozen salmon fillets, sustainably sourced
2 x 100 g frozen white fish fillets, sustainably sourced
65 g plain flour
100 g frozen spinach
125 g frozen cooked peeled prawns, sustainably sourced
1 heaped teaspoon English mustard
40 g Cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Peel the potatoes and cut into large even-sized chunks, then put them into a large pan of boiling salted water for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain and mash with a pinch of salt and pepper, the zest from the lemon and the butter. Place the frozen peas in a colander, pour over some boiling water to defrost them, then drain well and pulse a few times in a food processor. Fold them through the mashed potato to create a rippled effect, then leave to one side.



Peel and chop the carrots and onions and cook them in a large ovenproof pan (roughly 30cm in diameter) with a lug of oil for 15 minutes, or until softened but not coloured, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a pan on a medium heat. Once simmering, add all the frozen fish fillets for around 10 minutes, or until cooked through, then use a slotted spoon to remove them to a plate, taking the pan off the heat.



Stir the flour into the carrots and onions, then gradually add the milk, a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously. Stir in the spinach until broken down, then season to perfection. Flake in the fish fillets (carefully remove and discard the skin if the fillets have it), add the prawns, mustard and the juice from half the lemon, grate in the Cheddar and stir gently to combine. Top with the pea-spiked mash and smooth out, scuffing it up slightly with a fork to give it great texture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until beautifully golden. Serve with a good old helping of baked beans (if you like) – delicious!

Baileys fudge

397g can Carnation Condensed Milk

150ml milk

450g demerara sugar

115g butter

Place the ingredients into a large non-stick saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. 

Bring to the boil then simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan. Take care while the mixture boils and during stirring as the fudge will be VERY hot! To test its ready drop a little of the mixture into a jug of ice-cold water. A soft ball of fudge should form. Or check with a sugar thermometer if you have one (approx 118°C).

Remove from the heat and beat the fudge until very thick and starting to set (about 10 minutes).

Pour into the prepared tin and leave to cool before cutting into squares.

I add the baileys just as it is thickening before I put it into the cake tin to cool....
