4

Bring to the boil and cook for 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pan.

5

Cook over a low heat for 1-2 minutes to get rid of any remaining liquid.

6

Heat the milk in a small saucepan over a medium heat.

7

Mash the potatoes with the butter and crumbled Roquefort, gradually adding the hot milk until they reach the desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much liquid.

Then heat the oven to 180°C.

Flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

Place the fish, milk, bay leaf and peppercorns in a saucepan over a medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Strain the mixture, reserving the fish and the milk.

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the shallots and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the prawns, cayenne pepper and parsley to the bowl containing the fish pieces and pour over the sauce.
