This fish-finger pie is easy, comforting, winter food. My children love it and there are never any leftovers. It is also an economical meal, I have calculated (using Ocado online retailers prices) that it costs around 1.50 per person, for a family of four.
Ingredients
- 500g fish fingers
- 1 onion
- 1 large red pepper
- 400g tinned tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 25g butter
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 250ml milk
- 75g cheddar cheese
- 40g parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Cook the fish-fingers as directed on the packet.
2. Fry the onion and pepper for five minutes, until soft.
3. Add the tomatoes and tomato puree to the onion mixture. Season and cook for five minutes.
4. Put the fish-fingers in a large overproof dish.
5. Cover with the tomato mixture.
6. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook (continuously stirring) for five minutes.
7. Slowly add the milk, cook on a low heat until the mixture thickens.
8. Add 3/4 of the cheese and stir until melted.
9. Pour over the fish and tomato sauce.
10. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and cook at 180c for 20 minutes.
11. Brown under a medium grill.
Enjoy.
This reminds me of my fish finger pizza I made (its in the got somewhere) in thinking up meals that use fish fingers!
This is very inventive and I would possibly have to adapt a version for my lot (eg less Tom sauce and use beans and mash too maybe) but I may give this a go! Thanks Ella x
No problem, I was impressed that my lot ate tomatoes etc but they suprised me and loved it.
I would never have thought to cook fishfingers like that. Sounds great, will be trying it x
