WHAT'S IN IT?

2 tbs Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 leek, washed well and finely sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

1 stick celery, finely sliced

1 bay leaf

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup white wine

80g butter

1/2 cup flour

2 cups milk

2 cups fish stock

1/4 cup dill fronds, finely chopped

1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

Zest, 1 lemon

5 whole green prawns, peeled*, deveined, cut in half

300g snapper fillets, cut into 3cm pieces (you can use any firm white flesh fish) 

1 1/2 cups frozen peas

1-2 sheet puff pastry (enough to cover your pie dish)

1 egg, beaten

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: 

Step 1. Preheat oven to 175C. Warm fish stock in a small pot over low heat. Heat a large saucepan over medium high heat and saute leek, garlic, celery and bay leaf in olive oil until leek softens and all becomes aromatic. Season well with salt and pepper and deglaze with white wine. Cook until wine has almost evaporated. 

Step 2. Remove the bay leaf, melt butter and slowly add in flour and stir well to combine, cook flour out for 2-3mins over low heat. Slowly begin adding milk to butter and flour mix stirring well so there are no lumps, when all milk is added ladle in fish stock continuing to stir until sauce thickens. 

Step 3. Add herbs, lemon zest, seafood and frozen peas and gently stir through sauce. Once combined, pour into your pie dish and cover with puff pastry, brushing with egg wash and pushing down around edges of dish with fork. 

Step 4. Bake for 15-20mins or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. 

Recipe notes and tips: 

* While pie is resting my fav thing to do is bake another sheet of puff pasty so you have extra crunchy goodness!
