Mixed Smoked Fish Kedgeree Recipe

 

Ingredients

  • 450g/1 lb mixed smoked fish such as smoked sod, smoked haddock, smoked mussels or oysters, if available.

  • 300ml/1/2 pint milk

  • 175g/6 oz long grain rice

  • 1 slice of lemon

  • 50g/2 oz butter

  • 5ml/1 tsp medium-hot curry powder

  • 2.5ml/1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

  • 15ml/1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

  • salt and ground black pepper

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, to garnish

Serves 6

Method:

  1. Poach the uncooked smoked fish in milk for 10 minutes or until it flakes. Drain off the milk and flake the fish. Mix with the other smoked fish.

  2. Cook the rice in boiling water together with a slice of lemon for 10 minutes, or according to the instructions on the packet, until just cooked. Drain well.

  3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the rice and fish. Shake the pan to mix all the ingredients together well.

  4. Stir in the curry powder, nutmeg, parsley and seasoning. Serve immediately, garnished with quartered eggs.

Notes: When flaking the fish, keep the pieces fairly large to give this dish a chunky consistency.
