  • 250g Sweet potato
    (roughly one big potato or two little ones), peeled and finely chopped
  • 100g Cherry tomatoes
    cut in half
  • 1tbsp Olive oil
  • 170g Plaice fillet
    boneless
  • 3tbsp Milk
  • 15g Butter

  • 40g Parmesan
    grated

    Method

    • step 1

      In a small, lidded saucepan, steam or boil the sweet potato for around 10 minutes or until tender when pricked with a fork. Drain and set aside.

    • step 2

      Place cherry tomatoes in a non-stick pan and fry with oil for four minutes or until soft. If you are using the oven for another recipe, you can roast them for extra sweetness.

    • step 3

      Put the plaice into a lidded microwave dish, add milk and butter. Cover but leave the vent open (or pierce the clingfilm if you are using it as a cover) and cook for two minutes on full power or till tender (for 700w microwave, do adjust cooking time according to your appliance’s specs).

    • step 4

      Drain the plaice fillets but keep the cooking liquid. Check for any bones and flake with a fork or knife to remove the skin and check for any bones.

    • step 5

      Place fish with its cooking liquid, tomatoes, sweet potato and Parmesan and mash to desired consistency.

    • step 6

      Add one tablespoon of water if mixture is too dry.
