Ingredients

250 g	natural undyed smoked haddock
170 g	mature Cheddar cheese, grated
115 g	mushrooms, sliced
30 g	flour
30 g	butter, plus 1 – 2 ozs for cooking the haddock
1 tsp	mustard flour, heaped
300 ml	milk
	salt and pepper, to taste
½	lemon, juice only

Instructions

Cook the smoked haddock by your usual method (We microwave with the mushrooms for about 6-7 minutes on medium, dabbed with butter and a squeeze of lemon juice).

In the meantime make the cheese sauceby making a beurre manie – melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour. Cook for a minute or so, before starting to add the milk, a little at a time, stirring vigourously until a smooth paste is established at every addition. (Crucial or it will go lumpy!)

Continue until a smooth sauce, not too liquid is made. Add the cheese and mustard, stirring over the heat until the cheese is melted and a smooth sauce achieved.

Skin the cooked haddock and break into bite size pieces, removing any bones. Stir into the cheese sauce with the cooked mushrooms, with any cooking juices if you used the micro wave method.

Serve with boiled rice and green peas.
