Equipment

  • Large ovenproof dish
  • Frying pan
  • Large bowl
  • Sieve

Ingredients

  • 300 g basmati rice cooked and cooled
  • 50 g butter divided
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs shelled and halved
  • 200 ml double cream
  • 500 g smoked haddock skin removed
  • 100 ml white wine
  • Pinch saffron strands
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp mild curry powder
  • Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
  • Small handful of flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges, to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas mark 3.
  • Grease a large ovenproof dish with some of the butter.
  • Push the hard-boiled egg yolks through a sieve and chop the egg whites.
  • In a frying pan, gently heat the double cream until just below boiling, then add the smoked haddock.
  • Cover and poach for about 4 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, place the white wine in a pan with the saffron strands and warm gently to infuse.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked basmati rice, cayenne pepper, curry powder, grated nutmeg, seasoning, chopped egg whites, and the saffron-infused wine.
  • Lift the fish from the cream, flake it into the bowl, and remove any bones as you find them.
  • Add the remaining cream to the mixture and gently mix everything together.
  • Transfer the kedgeree mixture into the buttered ovenproof dish and dot the top with the remaining butter.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve scattered with chopped parsley and sieved egg yolks on top, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
