Kedgeree
Aromatic smoked haddock and flaky eggs in a creamy rice pilaf with fragrant spices.
Kedgeree is a comforting British dish that combines the richness of smoked fish with the heartiness of basmati rice, peas, and hard-boiled eggs. Its creamy texture and subtle spicing make it an ideal meal to serve with a crisp salad or steamed vegetables on the side.

Add the rice and stir in well. Add 600ml water, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, then cover for 10 mins. Take off the heat and leave to stand, covered, for 10-15 mins more. The rice will be perfectly cooked if you do not lift the lid before the end of the cooking.

Meanwhile, put the haddock and bay leaves in a frying pan, cover with the milk, then poach for 10 mins until the flesh flakes. Remove from the milk, peel away the skin, then flake the flesh into thumbsize pieces. Place the eggs in a pan, cover with water, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Leave for 4½-5 mins, plunge into cold water, then peel and cut the eggs into quarters. Gently mix the fish, eggs, parsley, coriander and rice together in the pan. Serve hot, sprinkled with a few extra herbs.
