Seafood Pie using smoked salmon
« on: November 16, 2009, 07:15:52 am »
Seafood Pie
Serves 4

Ingredients
White sauce from EDC
175g smoked salmon
2-3 carrots
1 cup frozen peas
4 potatoes
40g grated cheddar cheese

Method
Cook the carrots in pieces in the varoma and cook the chopped potaotes in the basket at the same time.  I cooked them for about 25 minutes using 1 litre of water in the varoma.
Cook the peas in the microwave.
When the vegetables are cooked remove the carrots and cut into small dice.
Mash the potatoes, by putting them in the bowl and mash for 20-30 seconds on speed 3 or 4. I didn't add any milk or butter.
Make the white sauce.
Place the carrot and peas in a casserole dish and break up the salmon and add. Pour over the white sauce and stir gently.
Spread the mashed potato over the top and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
Place in a 1800 oven and cook until the top is nicely browned.

I have written this from memory so I hope it's ok.  You could add any vegetables you had to the white sauce. You could also use tuna if you wish.  The smoked salmon gives it a lovely flavour.

Sorry I forgot to take a photo.

Sounds like a great combo.

How about making the potato mash as normal?  Too sloppy?

You could cheat and buy the frozen carrots and peas?  I would chop the carrots up into the cubes before cooking - think it's easier for me.

Also, just tip the peas into the Varoma for a few minutes near the end of cooking and they will be fine - save the microwave.

Thanks for the thoughts Thermomixer.  You could do all of the above, that is just the way I made it. A sort of starting place for folks to make their adjustments-and don't we all. The taste with the salmon is really nice. I think next time I make it I'll add some prawns and scallops.

Thanks for the hint re the peas, I'd never thought of it.
