Method
- Heat the oil in a medium heavy-based saucepan over a low-medium heat. Cook the onions for 8 minutes until starting to soften and turn golden. Add the fennel seeds and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the stock, saffron, pared zest and cayenne pepper. Bring to the boil, then add the broken-up lasagne sheets and cook according to the pack instructions
(about 8 minutes), adding the fish pie mix after the first 2 minutes of cooking. - Remove from the heat, stir in the mayonnaise/aïoli and parsley, season with a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper, then squeeze over the juice from the orange to taste.
