Instructions

Fish

  • Line container, allowing the baking paper or cling film to overhang.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the milk and Shape It Powder. Set aside.
  • Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add onion and celery; cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add flour and stir to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the mixture starts to bubble.
  • Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in the milk and Shape It mixture.
  • Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in the tuna and cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Puree the mixture until completely smooth.
  • Pour into the prepared container. Set aside.

Cauliflower Mash

  • In sperate saucepans, boil the cauliflower and Désirée potatoes (in water or stock) until well cooked. Strain liquid well.
  • Weigh ingredients.
  • Whisk milk and Shape It Powder in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place the hot cooked potato, cauliflower, and cheese into a food processor. Pour in the hot Shape It mixture and blend until completely smooth.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly over the fish mixture.
  • Cover with cling film and refrigerate until set.

To Serve

  • Preheat oven to 140°C conventional or 120°C fan-forced.
  • Prepare an ovenproof dish slightly deeper than Fish Mornay by lining with baking paper.
  • Use the overhanging baking paper to gently lift the set Fish Mornay out of the container and place it on a cutting board. Portion as desired.
  • Transfer portions into the prepared ovenproof dish and cover securely with aluminium foil.
  • Bake in the oven until a safe serving temperature is reached. Do not overheat and do not steam. For reheating instruction, refer to the Shape It Reheating Guide.
  • Before serving, test for IDDSI Level 4 Pureed: To test, use the Spoon Tilt Test and Fork Drip Test. It should be smooth and free of lumps. For more information on IDDSI testing, click here.

Notes

Chef’s Tip

  • Replace tuna with other types of fish, such as salmon.
  • Prepared Fish Mornay is suitable for freezing. Defrost in the fridge before heating and serving.
  • If any liquid is released during reheating, drain it off before serving.
