Because necessity is the mother of invention, this recipe began life as Julia's wonderful [[Caldeirada estilo Nazaré]] and ended up as a very garlicky ''Captain's pie''.

Rather than desecrate the [[Caldeirada estilo Nazaré|original recipe]], I have plagiarised most of it again here. I used my favourite fish, [[basa]] and ''sandwich'' [[prawns]] because they were economical. As I had no [[fish stock]], I thought a high quality, ready-made leek and potato soup would work instead. The final deviation was to put in a good slug of [[sherry]] instead of [[white wine]] and a mix of [[chervil]] and [[parsley]]. Otherwise, everything is pretty similar to the original.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
|Heat some [[olive oil]] and [[sauté]] the [[onions]], [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[peppers]] until they are soft.
|In the meantime, poach the [[fish]] in the soup for about 20 minutes.
|Add the [[sherry]] to the [[onion]] mixture, raise the heat and and reduce by about half.
|Add the [[tomatoes]], [[tomato purée]], [[bay leaves]], seasoning and [[saffron]] and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.

| Add the chopped [[chervil]] and [[parsley]] to the soup/fish and mix well
| Sprinkle the [[prawns]] over the top of the [[tomato]] mix
| Pour the soup mixture over that top of the [[prawns]]
| Mash the [[potatoes]] with the [[butter]], a little [[milk]] and season well
|Fork the mash on top of the [[prawns]], creating 4 separate layers
|Bake for about 30 minutes at the top of the [[oven]]

===Chef's note===
If (like this one) the dish is quite full, lay a sheet of [[tin-foil]] under the dish to save on the [[oven]] cleaning.
