Stage 2 and 3.

Ingredients

• 2 boiled potatoes
• 2-4 florets broccoli
• 125g bag of baby spinach leaves, washed
• A little butter, for brushing
• 1 fillet (approx. 140g) plaice
• Salt and pepper
• 100ml semi-skimmed milk
• 1⁄2 tsp cornflour
• 60g reduced fat extra mature cheddar cheese

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
2. Boil or steam the potato until soft – about 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the fish. Heat a large pan and add the spinach with a tbsp of water, stirring until wilted (about 1 minute).
4. Lightly butter 2 ramekins and divide the spinach between them, adding some seasoning.
5. Slice the plaice in half lengthways and roll each half up like a Swiss roll and place on top of the spinach.
6. Mix the cornflour with 1tbsp of the milk until smooth.
7. Heat the remaining milk in a small saucepan until just below boiling point and whisk in the cold milk & cornflour mixture. Bring to the boil, whisking constantly until thickened. Add 3⁄4 of the cheese and stir until melted.
8. Divide the sauce between the ramekins, sprinkling over the remaining cheese before baking in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Meanwhile, add the broccoli to the potato for the final 5 minutes of its cooking time.
9. Drain the potato and broccoli and serve with the fish.
