Kedgeree

Kedgeree recipe www.theluminouskitchen.com

Both my parents are English so having poached haddock and kippers at breakfast wasn’t as weird to us as it may sound to some. I loved to have poached haddock, dowsed in vinegar, on buttered, fresh white bread. ( I know that sounds gross, but it was one of my favorite meals as a kid) I remember one morning my little sister actually called home to be fetched from school because the vapor from the poached fish had seeped into her school jersey and she was mortified that she smelled like fish. I guess thats not ideal in high school. (Sorry Jules)

So the other week I was over the moon when I found smoked haddock in the supermarket  here. The fishmonger actually asked me if I was English because he said it’s only ex-pats that buy it. If you can, try to buy the undyed haddock.

I haven’t made kedgeree since I was about 10 years old. It was one of the first meals I learnt how to cook when I was little, however when I was looking over some kedgeree recipes last night I saw most call for curry powder… I couldn’t believe it .. I have never made kedgeree with curry powder before. I must have missed that in the recipe when I was a kid.  So needless to say my recipe is curry powder free and the image is egg free because to be quite honest I just plain forgot it for the shoot. Whoopsie.

Kedgeree is a great cook once eat twice meal so if you want double up the recipe and you can just heat it for lunch the next day. I also like to cook double the amount of rice anyway to keep in the fridge to add to salads or other meals in the week. I do this with most grains I cook. Easy quinoa porridge in the morning anyone?

      Kris, we just don’t eat nearly as much fish as we should in our house. I’m also always looking for new and exciting ways to make fish.
