Thai Green Curry Fish Pie

Preparation time: 20-30 minutes
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

I love fish pie.
It's so easy to cook, makes tons of portions and when cooked well is really tasty. I've been experimenting to create another cultural mash-up, like my Pork and Apple Stir Fry. I've been using pre-made curry sauces to spice up my fish pie, because they really speed up the process, and Thai Green Curry seemed like it would work well. I used the really handy fish pie mix from Tesco which means you get a good portion of White Fish, Haddock and Salmon. The Loyd Grossman Thai Green sauce I used turned out to be a bit disappointing, lacking in spice, but I can recommend the Bhuna.

Ingredients (For 4/5 servings):

• 3 large Potatoes
• 390g Tesco Fish Pie Mix (or similar)
• 2 diced Peppers (I used 1 red and 1 green)
• 1 can of Sweetcorn
• Grated Cheese for the top of the pie
• 1 jar of Thai Green Curry Sauce 
• Rocket or other salad to garnish
  

Steps:

1. Peel the potatoes and dice into equal sizes
2. Preheat the oven to 200C 
3. Boil the potatoes on a medium heat over the hob until they're soft (easiest way to check is if they fall off a sharp knife
4. Mash the potatoes with a little butter
5. In a large oven-proof dish mix in the fish pie mix, sweetcorn, peppers and curry sauce then once spread top it with the mash, fluffing it with a fork. If you want a nice crispy/cheesy top, then put some grated cheese on
6. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes

Penne with Curried Tuna Sauce

Cooking Time: 10 mins

Prep Time: 5 mins

This was my 'just got back to uni' meal and was seriously tasty and seriously easy. I used a pretty spicy curry paste for the sauce, but you can use pretty much whatever you like to spice up your pasta. 

Ingredients (For 1 person):

75g Penne pasta

1 185g can of Tuna

1 400g can of Chopped Tomatoes

3-4 teaspoons of Curry Paste

4 Baby Sweetcorn sliced

5-6 Sugarsnap Peas sliced

Olive Oil

Rocket to garnish

Steps:

1. Heat some oil up in a saucepan and in a separate saucepan bring a decent amount of water and a little salt (to stop the pasta sticking) to the boil
2. Chuck your pasta in the boiling water and leave on a medium heat for about 9 minutes
3. Meanwhile, chuck your tuna and the vegetables in the oil in the saucepan along with the curry paste and cook for a few minutes
4. Add the can of tomatoes to the tuna & vegetables, stir, and bring the saucepan to a simmer adding water if the liquid gets too low
5. Once the time for the pasta has come up, drain the pasta and serve with the tuna sauce and pop a few bits of rocket on to add a bit of colour
