Galician Fish Pie

Using a pestle and mortar, pound the almonds to form a paste and put them to one side.

Heat the oil in an ovenproof pan and slowly cook the garlic, onions and bayloaf for 15 minutes or until the onions have softened. Add the tomatoes, season and cook for 10 minutes. Add the almonds and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.

Preheat the oven to Gas 6/200C. Place the sliced potatoes in a colander. Pour boiling water over the top and and then refresh under a cold tap.

Pour the tomato mixture into a bowl. Line the bottom and sides of the ovenproof pan with the sliced potatoes. Fill the pan with alternating layers of tomato mixture and fish fillets.

Place the remaining potato slices on top. Dot with butter. Season the top and cook in the oven for 40 minutes.
