Ingredients
- 1½ lb sweet potatoes ((680g))
- ½ cup almond milk ((120ml))
- 2 tbsp dairy free butter
- black and pink salt to taste
- 1-1½ lb fish fillets ((680g)(I used cod fillets)(roughly 4-5 fillets))
- 1¾ cups almond milk ((414ml))
- 2 tbsp dairy free butter
- 2 tbsp brown rice flour ((20g)(can use arrow root/tapioca starch))
- 1 tsp onion granules ((or powder))
- 1 tsp garlic granules ((or powder))
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp thyme (dried)
- 1 tsp chadon beni ((I'm using homemade dehyrated) see notes)
- 2 tsp hot sauce ((optional))
- 1½ cups vegan cheese ((168g))
- black pepper and pink salt to taste
- 1 cup spinach/callaloo (if possible) ((235g)(tightly, packed, chopped small))
Method
- Preheat the oven at 180C/356F gas mark 4.
- Bring the chopped potatoes to a boil in cold water until tender.
- Drain off the water then use a potato masher to mash the potato along with the dairy free butter.
- Pour in the almond milk as you continue to breakdown the potato and add pink salt and black pepper to taste then set aside.
- Pour 1¾ cups of almond milk into a medium sized saucepan along with the fish fillets.
- Bring the milk to the boil then allow the fish to poach on reduced medium heat for several minutes until the fish is translucent and cooked through.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish and place in the pie dish. Meanwhile, reserve the milk by pouring it into a jug.
- Use a fork to flake the fish in the dish and set aside.
- Quickly use a paper towel to roughly clean the saucepan before moving onto the next step.
- On medium heat, melt the dairy free butter in the saucepan then gradually whisk in the rice flour.
- Slowly pour in the reserved milk, while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps.
- Once the sauce starts to slightly thicken, add the cheese along with the spices - onion granules, garlic granules, paprika, hot sauce, thyme, chadon beni, black pepper and pink salt to taste.
- Add the callaloo/spinach to the sauce (it will wilt as it cooks/heats through) and cook while stirring for 3-5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture onto the fish and then top with the mash.
- Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until golden
