Another Sunday, another session in the kitchen. Went for something relatively simple, one dish that both of us can eat, and no side dishes.
The seafood content consisted of hallibut fillets, cod loin, scallops, and prawns.
First of I par boiled the potatoes in their skins for about 10 minutes, then put to one side to cool.
Put the cod and halibut into a mix of fish stock and white wine to poach for 5 minutes. Took out and allowed to cool to remove the skin from the halibut. Put the stock through a strainer into a bowl for use in making a sauce later. Broke the fish into bite size pieces, quartered the scallops, and put all the seafood into a well buttered roasting dish.
Peeled the par boiled potatoes and grated them (the pie is going to have a rosti potato topping). Poured some melted butter of them and added some rinsed capers. Mixed everything together to make sure the potato is coated in butter.
Made a roux, and gradually added the fish/wine stock and allowed to cook for about five minutes. Added a slug of cream and half a dozen chopped gherkins, some chopped fresh parsley and dill, and what was left in freezer from a bag of garden peas.
Poured the sauce over the seafoold and gave a good mix. They put the grated potato/capers over the top, finished with some finely grated mature cheddar cheese.
Into the oven for 40 minutes at 220 degrees C, and she's ready.
