Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Cut the butternut squash and add it to a roasting tray with small amount of oil. Cook for 40 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, wash the potatoes and cut them into even size pieces. Boil for 20 minutes.
3. Gently heat the butter in a large pan and cook the shallots and fennel until soft. Add the wine and continue cooking until the volume is reduced by half.
4. Now add the stock and again allow the volume to reduce to half. Pour in the creme fraiche and simmer until you achieve a sauce-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper and leave to cool.
5. Skin the fish and cut into large chunks. Place in pan, cover with water, add a squeeze of lemon juice and thyme, and poach for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the water and fold into the cooled down sauce.
6. Add the prawns, tarragon, parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is combined.
7. Remove the butternut squash from the oven and add to the fish mixture.
8. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish.
9. Mash the potatoes with a little milk and butter, and beat in the egg yolks.
10. Add the potato over the fish mixture sauce and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
