Kedgeree

A rice bowl with smoked haddock, spiced onion sauce and a poached egg on top. It works well as a breakfast dish when you want something more substantial than toast or cereal, and the fish and rice can both be prepared ahead.

Method

0 of 6 done
  1. Bring the stock to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Add the smoked haddock and poach for about 5 minutes, until just cooked through and it flakes easily. Lift it out with a slotted spoon, then break it into large chunks and set aside. Keep the poaching liquid for the sauce.
  2. Heat the butter and Olive Oil in a shallow pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric and bay leaf, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften and take on a little colour. Stir in the tomato purée, curry powder and coriander stalks, and cook for another 2 minutes until sticky.
  3. Pour in the reserved poaching liquid and the cream. Season with salt and black pepper, then bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until reduced by about half. Strain the sauce through a sieve into a bowl, pressing down on the onions to extract as much liquid as you can.
  4. Meanwhile, rinse the rice in cold water several times. Put it in a small saucepan with the water and a pinch of salt, cover with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat. Stir once, cover again, reduce the heat to low and cook without lifting the lid for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and keep covered for 5 minutes more.
  5. Poach the egg in a pan of simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Lift onto kitchen paper to drain. Reheat the sauce in a wide pan over a low heat until hot, then stir in the rice and peas, if using, and cook until everything is piping hot.
  6. Stir through most of the coriander leaves, the lemon juice and the flaked haddock. Spoon into a warm bowl, top with the poached egg, the remaining coriander and a light sprinkle of garam masala. Serve straightaway.
