curried fish cake

Today we bring you a proposal for everyday life that you will love: it is a recipe for potato cake with curry fish filling . It is an adaptation that Loreto (from Sabores de Colores ) has made of the famous chef Jamie Oliver . It is very tasty thanks to all the spices it contains, and the combination with the mashed potatoes is delicious. Enjoy!

I admit that I love cookbooks, and if the photos are beautiful, even more so. I also admit that it is rare for me to follow recipes to the letter. What can we do if I am a bit of a rebel in that regard?

Today, as inspiration for this delicious recipe, the culprit has been Jamie Oliver with his book Comfort Food which has made me take out the tin of spices and let my imagination fly. My recipe, the one I bring you today, is an adaptation of his: curry fish pie, a real delight.

I chose this recipe because it was the ideal one to use with my Bra Infinity frying pan , a frying pan that I'm in love with: first because its non-stick coating is wonderful but above all because you start with it, continue with it and finish with it; that is, we cook with it, then we bake with it and we serve with it.

With this I want to encourage you to prepare this version of potato cake , this time with fish instead of meat, and if that were not enough, we will add spices.

Jamie Oliver's Comfort Food book and Bra Infinity non-stick frying pan

Ingredients (for 6 people)

• 4 cloves of garlic, sliced
• 1 fresh chili or cayenne (optional)
• 6 curry leaves
• 1 ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
• 2 onions
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric
• ½ teaspoon Madras curry
• 400ml coconut milk
• 125gr baby spinach
• 12 peeled prawns
• 180g cod at its salt point, without skin or bones
• 180gr salmon without skin or bones
• 3 vine tomatoes, seeded and skinned
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

For the mashed potatoes:

• 1.2kg of potatoes
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Milk (the amount depends on the type of potato, approximately 75g)
• Salt
• Pepper
• Nutmeg

Elaboration

1. We will start by placing the previously peeled potatoes in a pot with water and salt and we will cook them until they are tender, about 18 minutes. We will set them aside.
2. Meanwhile, in our 26cm Bra Infinity non-stick frying pan, pour 2 tablespoons of oil and fry the garlic cloves together with the sliced ​​chilli, curry leaves and mustard seeds.
3. When it starts to release a delicious aroma, add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the turmeric, ginger and curry, let it brown for a few seconds and add the coconut milk, spinach and the zest of 1 lemon. Bring to the boil and cook until the spinach has lost its softness and the sauce has thickened – this step is important as the fish will release water. Adjust the salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
4. Next, we spread the previously chopped tomatoes on top. Let the mixture cool.
5. While the sauce is cooling, chop the fish and prawns into bite-sized cubes. Spread them over the sauce in the pan. Set aside.
6. All that remains is to prepare the mashed potatoes and spread them over the base that we have prepared. To do this, we strain the potatoes and use a potato masher to mash them. Next, we add the butter, stir with a spatula and gradually add the milk until we achieve the desired texture – it must be a thick puree so that we can shape it with the pastry bag and it does not fall apart in the sauce. We adjust the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
7. We fill a pastry bag with a wide curly nozzle and cover the entire surface with the fish filling that we have prepared.
8. Place in the oven, preheated to 180ºC, remove the handle from the pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the surface has turned golden or you see the sauce bubbling around the edges.
9. We remove the pan from the oven, put the handle back on and take it to the table, place it on a trivet and enjoy it hot.
