Time for a one-pot wonder that won't interfere with the Wales England game -fish pie.
First off boil up some potatoes,
the sweet potato provides a bit of moist richness allowing a bit less butter.
At the same time poach the smoked haddock in milk with some aromatics
is
The trick here is to turn the heat off just as the milk begins to simmer. Time to check out the rugby where, horrors, England are in the lead (I'm quarter Welsh and not just being knee-jerk anti-English).
Half time and it's mashing time - skins and all.
Meanwhile the fish is looking a bit meagre so time for some secret ingredients
The parmesan rinds have been evicted by my wife, but one at least is reasonably mould free so it will go into the bechamel, which will begin with lightly sauteed leeks and diced chorizo
Get that sweated off a bit in a good bit of butter then a few handfuls of flour before stirring in the poaching liquid and parmessan rind
Flake the fish (because it is barely cooked, the skinning gets a bit messy)
Time to asssemble in freezer friendly portions
Pop in the oven and just in time to see Wales deserved victory.
Game over, and just time to wash and prep the last of the spinach from the garden.
mix the spinach with a little cream and grated nutmeg for a certain je ne sais quoi and dinner is served:
(a note on portions, I was aiming at at 3x3 servings but my wife felt a little short changed)
