Irish Fisherman’s Pie: Cook-In
This dish embodies everything we love about comfort food. With a rich and creamy base topped with fluffy mashed potatoes, it’s sure to delight your taste buds. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy seafood!
Ingredients
- 1 lb mixed seafood (e.g., shrimp, fish fillets, mussels)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups vegetable or fish stock
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 cups mashed potatoes (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the flour and cook for a minute, stirring to form a roux. Gradually add in the heavy cream and stock, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
- Add the mixed seafood to the skillet along with the frozen peas. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing all those beautiful flavors to meld together.
- Pour the seafood mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Top with a layer of mashed potatoes, spreading it out gently with a spatula. Aim for an even layer to ensure it bakes uniformly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
