Haha if the missus ever kicks me out we could get a flat together like the Odd Couple
I can put up the broad strokes of the recipe because i rarely follow them or work on exact quantities, im an ex cook so work more on feel and memory. If youre a half decent cook youll be able to adopt it, but you may need to play around with some quantities
Pastry - premade frozen puff, blind bake one sheet lined in a well greased dish for the casing and cool, reserve a sheet for the top
Filling - exact quantities depend on the amount of fish, but lets assume 600-800g of fillet cut into 50 cent piece sized cubes
Make a white sauce (butter and flour roux, slowly whisk in full fat milk until you have about half a litre of thickened sauce). As its simmering on low whisk in a couple heaped teaspoons of curry powder, i like keens, dijon or seeded mustard to taste - maybe a table spoon, salt, white pepper, grated parmesean cheese, a little chopped fresh flat leaf parsley and dill. Put aside
In a pan throw in a massive knob of butter and brown off a sliced leek, one chopped red onion and sliced garlic x 2-3 cloves, brown slowly adding a teaspoon of garam masala as you go, a little powdered ginger and a vegie stock cube goes well too.
Mixed frozen vegies and a 4 cubes of frozen spinach - around 0.5kg total - dont knock this stuff, cheap and full of nutrients and already chopped! Plus for this type of cooking it is almost good as fresh. Add defrosted to the browned aromatics untill softned then stir in the white sauce and bring to a simmer. Throw in gummy chunks, stir well untill theyre well coated and take of heat for 5 minutes, taste for seasoning.
The key here is to let the gummy cook while its baking, it can go in almost raw, nothing worse than overcooked fish, you want big juicy chunks in the pie, not a crumbling mess.
Fill the prebaked casing and top with pastry sheet, brush with egg wash and poke a few steam holes.
Bake at 180-200 untill golden brown, probably around 30 minutes.
Rest for 15-20 minutes before serving, you want it to set a little so it doesnt fall apart.
