Ingredients

Half a haddock, filleted (equivalent of two main meal portions). You can use smoked, as I do, or ordinary haddock fillets.

knob of butter
2 leeks, sliced
three medium potatoes, peeled and cubed quite small
handful of chopped fresh thyme
tin of sweetcorn or frozen (approx 260g drained weight)
pint milk

chopped parsley and black pepper to taste

Method

Cook the haddock–I bake it in a covered, buttered dish; you could poach it in some of the milk–and flake the cooked fish off the skin.

While that is cooking, melt some butter in a pan and cook the leeks for a few minutes while you peel and cube the spuds. Add the spuds, a little water, just to cover, and simmer all until the spuds are soft.

Add half of the sweetcorn.

Blitz the leek, potato, sweetcorn mixture either with a hand blender or in a liquidiser, then add the flaked fish and the rest of the sweetcorn.

Heat through to serve with a sprinkle of chopped, fresh parsley

I use a very similar recipe but use diced pancetta to start off with leeks or finish with crisply fried pancetta strips as croutons. It is a favourite recipe.

It worked well with cheesy bread.

I forgot to say add the milk! Do this before blending. After blending, add the flaked fish and remaining sweetcorn.

I haven't tried freezing this but will today and will report back on results. I'll also report back on whether it goes well with cheesy bread.
