Fish,
I really don't like fish, but I'm in a serious minority in my family. Fish Pie is quite quick and easy to make, and doesn't really need any taste-tests along the way
I think the idea of adding peas to the mash was originally Jamie Oliver's, but I may be misattributing

- Put the carrots, onions and some oil in a large ovenproof pan and cook for 15 mins until they've softened

- Simmer for around 10 mins then use spoon/spatula to remove the fillets (put them on a plate)
- Remove the milk pan from the heat
- Stir the flour into the carrots and onion
- Gradually add the milk, stirring as you do so to avoid lumps

- Add the lemon juice and the remainder of the peas
- Add the sweetcorn
- Add the cheese
- Stir gently to combine it all into a sauce
- If a seperate dish is to be used for the oven, pour the mix into that dish now
- Top with the mashed potatoe, scuff the top slightly to get some crispy peaks
- Bake in the oven for 35 mins
