Ingredients

  • 150g Cod filletloin/steak, skinless and boneless
  • 200ml Milk
  • 2 Sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 25g Butter
  • 75g Leeks, sliced
  • 50g Cheddar cheese
  • 1tbsp Plain flour

Method

  • STEP 1

    In a pan, place cod with milk and thyme. Bring to the boil then cover and simmer for around 5 minutes or until the fish is cooked.

  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt the butter and cook the leek till soft.

  • STEP 3

    Drain the milk from the cod and add it to the leek mixture. Set the cod aside. Add the flour and stir in the milk gradually to make a paste. Add the cheese, bring to the boil and keep stirring for about 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the cheese has melted.

  • STEP 4

    Mash the fish, carefully checking for any bones and mix with fish sauce. Add one tablespoon of water if too thick. If you want to reserve a few spoonfuls of sauce to use as a topping, pick out leek pieces if serving to a young baby.

  • Increase the ingredients according to your family’s size, skip the step 4 (except for the baby, of course) and serve this as a family meal.
  • This recipe will also work with haddock or other soft white fish.
