KEDGEREE
This
is a fish dish that started life in India as 'Kitchri' and was cooked
with lentils and onions. It was brought back to England in the 1700s
and adapted to our palette. This version is a little more modern but, I
think, one of the best that I have tasted.
This recipe will serve 6.
Ingredients
450g or 1lb of cooked haddock with all the bones
and skin removed
175g
or 6oz long grained rice which has already been cooked
Coarse ground black pepper
A pinch of Saffron Powder
3 hard boiled eggs which have been removed from
their shells
2
tablespoons double cream
50g
or 2oz butter
Chopped
Parsley (for the garnish).
Method:
1. Flake the haddock making sure that there are no
bones or skin left.
2.

saffron
3.
Remove the pan from the heat.
4.
Chop the boiled eggs into small pieces and add to the pan contents.

mixture.
6.
Now heat the pan gently and when the mixture starts to get warm slowly
stir in the cream making sure it is well mixed.
7. Add a pinch of salt and a little coarse black
pepper to taste. Continue to heat until the mixture is hot then serve
onto hot plates and garnish with chopped parsley.
