Smoked Fish & Prawn Pie with Sweet Potato Orange Zest Mash

---

You will not regret making this - this dish is a family favourite and something regularly requested! It might sound odd to add orange zesty flavours to your sweet potato, but it really is a winning combination. When you put the peas and prawns in frozen, they come out perfectly cooked when it's finished AND you have saved time by not having to pre-cook them at all. This dish is best shared with a bunch of friends or the family so you can easily exercise self-restraint by not eating too much! It would however, make a beautiful lunch re-heated the next day!

Ingredients

Serves: 4 - 6

• 500g smoked fish
• 200g frozen prawns
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 medium white onion
• 2 large sweet potato (also known as a kumera)​​
• ​1 Tbsp olive oil
• Zest from 1 large orange
• Juice from 1 large orange
• 50g butter
• 50g grated cheese (not processed)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp miso paste
• ​1 cup water
• 1 tsp cornflour
• 1 Tbsp water 
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to

A little preparation to start:

• Heat the oven to 200°C fan bake
• Dice the onion and garlic (make sure you crush the garlic first to release the flavour)
• Peel the sweet potatoes (kumera) and cut into similar-sized pieces (about 3 x 3 inch cubes)
• Zest the orange if you haven't already!
  

Let's get the pie topping sorted:

• Place the sweet potatoes as well as the orange zest into a large saucepan
• Cover with water and put on a high heat to bring to a boil
• ​Now would be a good time to juice the orange! :-)
  
• Boil the sweet potatoes until cooked (should be tender and splitting when you insert a fork) 
• Drain and let it sit for a couple minutes  
• Add butter, orange juice and 1 tsp salt 
• Mash together then set aside

Now for the filling:

• Using the same large pan, sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are transparent 
• Add the miso paste and the smoked fish
• Mix together trying not to break up the fish too much
• Now add the cup of water to make the sauce
• In a cup mix the cornflour and Tbsp of water together using a spoon so that it becomes a paste, then add to the pot and mix together (to thicken the sauce)
• Add salt and pepper to taste (not too much salt as there is salt in the miso)
• Mix in the frozen peas and frozen prawns and roughly combine
• Pour the whole mix into a pie dish (don't worry the peas and prawns will be cooked perfectly when you finish the pie in the oven)

It's all coming together now:

• With a big spoon, carefully spoon the potato mash over the mix, covering completely
• Sprinkle the grated cheese on top
• Bake in the oven  for 15-20 min or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown 
• Let it sit once you have taken it out of the oven for 5 - 10 minutes  
• Serve with a nice leafy green salad or just on its own 😉
