Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a peeler, a sieve, a masher, 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 of boiling water. Simmer for 18-20 mins, until soft, then drain
- Return to the pan and mash with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Prep time
- Cut the carrots into 1cm thick batons. Place onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 mins, until soft and golden
- Meanwhile, finely slice the shallots. Finely chop the dill. Rinse the spinach
- Dissolve the cornflour in the jug with 50ml cold water, then top up with another 150ml hot water
Get your simmer on
- Heat the medium saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shallot and cook for 3 mins, then add the prawns and fry for another 2 mins. Season with salt and pepper
- Add the mustard, dill, the cornflour mix and the almond cream. Zest in the lemon
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 6 mins, until the sauce has thickened and prawns are cooked through. In the final minute, add the peas and spinach to the sauce, and stir to wilt
Oven time
- Meanwhile, halve the lemon
- Season the prawn mixture with a squeeze of lemon juice and a good pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer to the ovenproof dish
- Top with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 10 mins, until golden
Plate up
- Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
- Serve the pie onto plates, with the roasted carrot alongside. Garnish with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
