300g Nicola potatoes, scrubbed well, skin left on and diced
400g sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium brown onion, diced
1 stick celery, diced (1 cup)
1 medium carrot, finely diced
1 small fennel, tops removed, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cornflour (I used gluten free cornflour)
1½ cups milk of your choice (I used soy milky lite), plus 4 tablespoons, extra
⅓ cup dry white wine
400g skinless, boneless firm white fish fillet (such as ling), cut into 3cm pieces
200g peeled, deveined green prawns (400g unpeeled prawns approx. = 200g peeled prawns), cut in half if large
1 bunch chives
1½ teaspoons salt
pepper
Instructions
Boil the kettle. Place the potatoes in a saucepan and when the kettle has boiled, pour water over the potatoes to just cover them.
Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 12-15 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, heat a frypan over medium-high heat. When hot add oil and onion and sautee for 2-3 minutes until onion softens and starts to brown. If onion starts to stick, add a little water.
Add celery and carrot and cook, adding water if they start to stick.
Add fennel and sautee for 2-3 minutes.
Place cornflour in a jug or bowl and pour in about 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until smooth, then add remaining milk.
Pour milk mixture into pan, add wine and stir constantly until it incorporates the vegetables and the mixture has thickened.
Remove from heat, stir in prawns, fish, chives and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Divide seafood mixture between two 1L (4-cup) ovenproof dishes. (I only had one dish this size so I used 2 individual dishes for the remainder)
Drain potato and return to the pan. Add the 4 tablespoons of extra milk and ½ teaspoon of salt, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Spoon mash over the filling, even out with a fork and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes until the potato is golden and crisp.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with steamed broccoli and a rocket and avocado salad
