See our past selections on: 22streetlanenursery.co.uk/dish-of-the-month/ Ingredients

• 4 pieces of cod • 55g butter • 550ml milk (Any Type) • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves • 5 large potatoes • 1 large white onion • 1 small tin of sweetcorn • 35g plain flour • 45g cheddar or parmesan • 1 broccoli head • 1 handful of peas • 1 sliced leek

Method

1. Wash your potatoes and slice them thinly. Cover them with oil, salt, and pepper, and add any desired herbs (we used rosemary from the garden). Roast in the oven at 180 degrees for around 15-20 minutes until they become soft. Set aside to cool. 2. Roast your cod fillets until they reach 75C or above. Once cooked, set them aside to rest for flaking. 3. Gently melt your butter in a large saucepan, then add your sliced Spanish onion, allowing it to caramelise with the garlic. Add your plain flour and cook it further, ensuring it’s fully cooked. In a separate saucepan, lightly heat your milk, being careful not to let it boil. 4. Slowly add your milk to the buttery onion mix. The mixture should start to thicken nicely. Reduce the heat, ensuring it doesn’t stick to the bottom, and continue adding your milk a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. 5. The white sauce should cook for around 15 minutes. Taste to ensure the seasoning is correct. Add the flaked cod and drained sweetcorn to the mix. Transfer it to a baking tray and top it with your sliced potatoes and grated cheese of your choice. 6. Bake until the top is golden and crisp. Serve with steamed vegetables on the side.
