Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Bring a saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a masher, a sieve, a peeler, a grater, a measuring jug, a medium saucepan & an ovenproof dish

Make the mash

  • Roughly chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel optional), then add to the saucepan
  • Simmer for 18-20 mins, until soft, then drain. Return to the pan and mash with half the yoghurt, a pinch of salt and pepper

Prep time

  • Finely dice the shallots. Finely chop the dill
  • Dissolve the cornflour in the jug with 50ml cold water (25ml for 1 person), then top up with another 100ml hot water (50ml for 1 person)
  • Heat the medium saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the shallots and cook for 5-6 mins, until softened

Build the dish

  • Add the mustard, stock powder, half the dill and the cornflour mix
  • Bring to a boil, then add the prawns and simmer for 8 mins. Zest over the lemon
  • Rinse the spinach, then add to the pan with the remaining yoghurt and simmer for 1-2 mins, until wilted and thickened

Grill time

  • Halve the lemon. Season the prawn mixture with a pinch of salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Transfer to the ovenproof dish and top with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 5 mins, until piping hot
  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot

Cook the carrots & plate up

  • Rinse the potato saucepan, then refill with salted hot water and bring to a boil. Slice the carrots into discs (peel optional), then add to the saucepan
  • Boil for 4-5 mins, until soft, then drain. Return to the pan, then toss with the remaining dill, a pinch of pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Serve a generous portion of pie with the carrots. Garnish with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
