I have salmon and puff pastry. So pie it is. But I need to pad out the pie filling. I have a number of ingredients in fridge/cupboard. Which, iyo, would work?

Mushrooms
Sweetcorn
Green beans
Spring onions
Cheese
Celery
Peas
Broccoli

I would go for peas, green beans (cut quite small) and brocolli. Cheese grated on top!

MamaG · 25/01/2009 15:00

I wouldn't put the celery in

prob not mushrooms either (tho I love mushrooms!)

CandleQueen · 25/01/2009 15:02

bigTillyMint is on the right track. No mushrooms or celery or spring onion (too strong flavours) Sweetcorn or the green stuff would work best.

I'd put the mushrooms in. But not the celery (I hate the stuff!) or the sweetcorn.

Shame you haven't any leeks - I do a fab fish pie with salmon, mushrooms & leeks

nkf · 25/01/2009 15:06

I think I was hoping the spring onions would serve a leek function. But I guess they are a bit strong.

I think the greens are probably the way to go. And some cheese to make it a bit juicier.

Or maybe I have to make a roux type sauce.

Roux sauce, salmon, mushrooms and broccoli - yum!

nkf · 25/01/2009 15:10

A vote for mushrooms then?
I'm so undecided.

Well, I love mushrooms, and also think they go well with salmon. But it's your choice!

KatyMac · 25/01/2009 15:13

I like SoMuchToBitsOfHaggis's version

nkf · 25/01/2009 15:13

I shall let you all know how it works out. Thank you.

I'd say deffo make a sauce, or use cream!

nkf · 25/01/2009 18:40

It was salmon, broccoli and peas. I wouldn't use the peas again but it was still pretty delicious.

Ah, you should have put the mushrooms in instead of peas!

nkf · 25/01/2009 20:28

I think you are right. Still, we polished it off.
