Ingredients

  • 2 haddock
  • 568ml/1 pint milk
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 8 peppercorns
  • 1 onion
  • 25g/1oz butter
  • 1 carrot
  • ½ a swede
  • 1 waxy potato
  • 1 tsp black mustard
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp plain flour

Instructions

  • Cut the haddock fillets in half and place in a pan with the milk, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to the boil and then allow to infuse with the heat off and a lid on.
  • Fry the onion on a low heat in a pan with some butter. Add the carrot, swede and potato to the onion and fry in the pan with the mustard seeds and turmeric, until lightly browned.
  • Remove the haddock from the milk, set aside and reserve the milk.
  • Scatter the flour over the vegetables and cook for a couple of minutes. Pour the infused milk over the vegetables with the heat on and stir continuously until you are left with a thick sauce. Cook the vegetables in this sauce until they are soft.
