Smoked Haddock Pie

December 11, 2024 No Comments

Tis the season of comfort food and it doesn’t get more comfortable than this Smoked Haddock Pie. This dish features a rich and creamy béchamel sauce studded with chunks of smoked haddock, tender green peas, shallots, and a host of herbs baked under a lid of buttery mashed potatoes. I piped the potatoes into rosettes and studded them with peas for a little festive flair. This step is technically optional, but if you’re anything like me, it really isn’t. I can’t say no to a little retro charm. So let’s dive right in!

The summer may be winding down but patio weather lingers. Sure, school is back in session but we still have acres of good weather ahead of us. So before we dig out our casserole dishes and launch into soup mode, let’s keep those effortless summer recipes going a little longer. Today’s Poached Shrimp with Peach Habanero Hot Sauce fits that particular brief perfectly. It can be made in advance, it pairs well with a beer or a crisp glass of white, and its cook-time is minimal. Sounds pretty summery to me!

Low maintenance has been my M.O. lately. It’s late summer and the vibes are lazy, so why should my recipes be any different? I realize my previous post gently reimagined the iconic tomato sandwich. And today’s could be easily classified as the same. These Tuna Club Tostadas borrow most of their cast from the much-beloved club sandwich, which is really a tomato sandwich on steroids. So yes, these tostadas are yet another riff on the sandwich of the season. But my repetitiveness doesn’t make these beauties any less delicious, so let’s make them.

Alone time is something I relish. I’m not a recluse by any stretch of the imagination. I enjoy socializing and I am not a complete homebody. But I do enjoy the opportunity to blast music and cook for myself and only myself. I love cooking for other people but preparing a meal exactly the way I like it without other people’s expectations or palettes weighing in is true self-care. Today’s Crab Salad Rice Bowl is the meal I make for myself when I am alone. Now, I’ve prettied it up a bit for the blog but don’t let its looks fool you. This recipe is so simple, you could make it in your sleep.
