Ingredients

- 500 g haddock

- 375 ml milk

- 50 g butter

- 1 onion, chopped

- 5 ml chopped garlic

- 60 ml flour

- 250 ml milk

- 250 ml frozen peas

- salt and pepper

- 250 ml grated cheddar cheese

- 500 g roll of puff pastry

- egg glaze

Method

- Put the haddock in a pot and pour over the milk.

- Poach on a medium heat for 5-10 minutes until cooked.

- Remove with a draining spoon and flake the fish.

- Melt the butter in a pot and gently fry the onions until soft.

- Add the garlic and cook for a minute.

- Add the flour and cook for a minute.

- Add the milk while stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens.

- Remove from the heat and add the haddock, peas, seasoning and grated cheese. Set aside to cool.

- Unroll the pastry and roll it out a little thinner. You should try to get eight 12cm squares from the roll.

- Place a generous spoonful of filling in the middle of each square.

- Brush the edges with egg glaze and bring the four corners up to meet in the middle, pinching the edges to seal.

- Place on a baking tray and brush the outside with egg glaze.

- Bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

- Any excess filling can be served with rice or mashed potato or frozen to use at a later stage.
