Hi Kate,
What a great question to get us thinking of healthy pie recipe. This is one of my favourites and is really comforting and tasty and most importantly, it's made with low-fat ingredients. It’s a great alternative to classic, creamier fish pie recipes!
Ingredients
• 312g/11oz fat-free natural yogurt
• 142g/5oz fat-free natural fromage frais
• 2tbsp chopped parsley
• 198g/7oz smoked haddock fillets, cooked, skinned and flaked
• 198g/7oz prawns, peeled and cooked
• 4 hard boiled eggs, shelled and cut in half
• 6 spring onions, finely chopped
• A pinch of nutmeg
• 4tbsp finely chopped dill
The topping
• 340g/12oz each carrots and swede, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 large egg, beaten
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 4tbsp fat-free natural yogurt
Method
• Make the topping by boiling the carrots and swede in a large pan of boiling water for 15-20 mins until tender. Drain and then return to the pan and mash. Allow to cool, then stir in the beaten egg and yogurt. Season and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6. Mix together the yogurt, fromage frais, nutmeg, dill and parsley in a bowl. Season well and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, place the hard boiled eggs, spring onions, flaked haddock, prawns and lemon juice. Pour over the fromage frais mixture and toss to mix well.
• Spoon this mixture into a deep, ovenproof dish. Spoon over the topping and spread evenly. Rough up the surface with a fork.
• Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 mins or until the topping is lightly browned.
• Serve immediately on its own or with steamed green vegetables.
Healthy options
Carrot and swede are great low carbohydrate alternatives to mashed potato for a pie topping. It's another way to make sure your calories don’t pile-up!
Thanks again for posting and we hope you enjoy the recipe.
