Tickle your taste buds with this fantastic Winter warmer for the whole family to enjoy! Natalie Peall from Baby Led Weaning Cookbook has shared a Family fish pie recipe, that can be served for 4-6 adults OR as 8 baby to toddler portions.

Ingredients:

• 1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped in half
• 50g butter + 2 tablespoons for mashing
• 50g plain flour
• 500ml full-fat milk + a splash for mashing
• 80g cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon of mustard (optional)
• Half a bunch of chives, chopped
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 500g fish, diced - a mix of salmon, smoked haddock, cod, prawns, whatever you have on hand
• 160g frozen peas

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C
• Put a large pan of water on to boil for the potatoes
• Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and boil for 10-15 minutes until very tender
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat
• Whisk in the flour, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth after each addition
• Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until thickened
• Once thickened, stir in the cheese, mustard, chives and lemon juice
• Remove from the heat and stir through the fish
• Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and return to the pan and mash with 2 tablespoons of butter and a splash of milk
• Pour the fish mixture into a large casserole dish and carefully spread the mash over the top. Alternatively, divide the mix into smaller ramekins for individual portions
• Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes for a large casserole or 20-30 for individual portions. Alternatively, cover and freeze at this point
