Ingredients to make Hake and prawn cake:

• 400 grams of hake
• 200 grams of prawns
• 5 eggs
• 250 milliliters of cooking cream
• 4 tablespoons fried tomato
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of pepper

How to make Hake and prawn pie:

1. Turn on the oven at 180ºC with heat up and down. Cook the prawns, peel them and cut them into pieces. You can put the hake in the microwave for a minute to cook it a bit or pass it through the pan for a couple of minutes, remove the skin and bones that it has and chop it up. For this recipe you can use frozen hack.
2. Beat the eggs and cream in a bowl, add the fried tomato and mix again. You can also make the hake and shrimp cake with crushed natural tomato.
3. Tip: To make the hake and prawn pie without cream you could use milk or even a little water from cooking the prawns.
4. Add the hake and the chopped prawns to the mixture, stir and mix. At this time you can grind all the ingredients if you do not want to find chunks.
5. Prepare a baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Pour all the mixture; place the mold in a larger one to cook the cake in a bain-marie.
6. Add water on the plate until it covers one finger of the mold. Bake the Hake and Prawn Pie for 50-60 minutes or until done. The time may vary depending on the oven. You will know that it is done by poking the cake with a toothpick in the center. If you see that the cake is not cooked on the inside and that the top is getting too brown, cover it with some aluminum foil, so it will finish cooking without burning the top.
7. Trick: To make the hake and prawn pie without an oven, you must cook it in the microwave by introducing a glass with a little water.
8. When you poke a toothpick in the center of the cake and it comes out dry, turn off the oven and leave it in for about 10 minutes. Take it out, let it cool and unmold carefully.
9. If you want to serve your hake and prawn pie cold, put it in the fridge. When you are going to serve it, put it in a bowl accompanied by some peeled prawns and a bit of salad. You can also serve the cake with homemade mayonnaise or tomato sauce. It is also delicious warm or hot, but for this option we recommend accompanying it with tomato sauce.
