How To Cook Kipper Food

KIPPERS

Steps:

• Bring enough water to fill baking dish to a boil. Place kippers, fully opened and skin side down, in a shallow dish. Fill dish with boiling water. To keep submerged in boiling water, cover fish with parchment paper and a small cutting board. Place something heavy on top to weigh kippers down. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes. Move fish to a serving plate, skin side down, and top with butter, if desired.

SMOKED KIPPERS WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a large skillet on low heat melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the kippers cooking 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• In a bowl whisk the eggs, curry powder, milk, 1 tablespoon of butter salt and pepper.
• Pour egg mixture into another frying pan/skillet and on low heat gently scramble the eggs.
• Serve with the hot buttered toast and lemon wedges.

KIPPER PâTé

Steps:

• Put the kippers in a bowl and pour over boiling water so that they are completely covered. Leave for 8 mins, then drain. Meanwhile, put the remaining ingredients, except the sourdough and lemon wedges, into a food processor. Add a good grind of black pepper and whizz until everything is chopped and combined.
• Cut the heads off the kippers and remove the skin, then fillet and discard the bones. Add the kipper flesh to the processor and whizz again until you have a smooth pâté. Pack in a suitable container and chill. Serve with sourdough toast and lemon wedges.
