What you'll need:

For the fish pie filling:

  • 1 stock cube
  • 1 TSP thyme
  • 500g white fish fillets, cleaned, deboned
  • 200g spinach
  • 1 TSP garlic powder
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 TSP curry
  • salt, to taste
  • a bit of water

For the fish pie dough/pastry:

  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 350g flour
  • 1 TSP salt
  • 100g margarine
  • 1 TSP baking powder
  • 1 egg

Method:

  1. Clean the fish, removing skin and spines.
  2. In a pot, add all the ingredients under the filling list.
  3. Once the fish has been thoroughly cooked and well mixed with all other ingredients, take it out and put aside for a few minutes.
  4. In a bowl, combine together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the margarine and whisked egg until well mixed.
  6. Combine the two mixtures in one bowl and progressively add cool water until you have a firm dough.
  7. Knead the dough and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Then place the dough on a flat surface, cut out a bit and roll flat by using a rolling pin.
  8. Cut into rectangle/square or any of your desired shape. Or if you're feeling adventurous form into the shape of a fish! Place the fish filling in the centre of the dough and fold one end of the dough to meet other end. Seal the end by using the tip of a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  9. Place the pie in a baking pan sprayed with oil and bake it in a preheated oven at medium temperature for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
