Jane Garmeys Kedgeree Food

KEDGEREE

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions. Drain, and set aside to cool. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop. Set aside.
• Place the haddock in a small skillet with the bay leaf. Pour in enough milk just to cover the fish. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook gently until fish flakes. Remove fish from the pan, flake with a fork, and set aside. Discard milk and bay leaf.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in curry powder, then add the peas and onions. Fry for a couple of minutes, then add the cooked rice, eggs, and fish. Stir gently, and season with salt and pepper. Heat through, and serve with yogurt.

Steps:

• For the rice, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large, lidded pan, add 1 finely chopped large onion, then gently fry for 5 mins until softened but not coloured.
• Add 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground turmeric and 2 tsp curry powder, season with salt, then continue to fry until the mix starts to go brown and fragrant; about 3 mins.
• Add 300g rinsed easy-cook long grain rice and stir in well. Add 600ml water, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, then cover for 10 mins.
• Take off the heat and leave to stand, covered, for 10-15 mins more. The rice will be perfectly cooked if you do not lift the lid before the end of the cooking.
• Meanwhile, put 300g skin-on undyed smoked haddock fillet and 2 bay leaves in a frying pan, cover with 300ml milk, then poach for 10 mins until the flesh flakes. Remove from the milk, peel away the skin, then flake the flesh into thumb-sized pieces.
• Place 4 eggs in a pan, cover with water, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Leave for 4½-5 mins, plunge into cold water, then peel and cut the eggs into quarters.
• Gently mix the fish, eggs, a handful each of chopped parsley and coriander, and rice together in the pan. Serve hot, sprinkled with a few extra herbs.

Steps:

• Place the fish in a heavy skillet and add boiling water to cover. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat and let the fish barely simmer for about 10 to 12 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish. Cook until the fish barely flakes. Do not overcook. Drain the fish but reserve two and one-half cups of the cooking liquid.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is wilted. Add the rice and cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the curry powder and stir. Add the reserved cooking liquid. Cover closely and let simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in the butter.
• Flake the fish and add it. Add the eggs and parsley. Blend. Spoon the kedgeree onto a hot platter and decorate the top with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Put the haddock in a skillet and pour boiling water over it to cover. Bring to the boil and let it barely simmer 10 to 12 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish. Take care not to overcook the fish. Drain, reserving one and one-quarter cups of the cooking liquid.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions. Cook briefly, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Add the rice and stir. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, about one minute.
• Add the liquid in which the fish cooked. Bring to the boil and let simmer, covered, about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. If most of the liquid has not been absorbed, uncover and cook over high heat until it has done so. This rice should be a bit ''wet,'' but it should not be soupy.
• Meanwhile, flake the fish. Remove and discard any skin, tough parts and bones.
• Add the butter, chopped egg, flaked fish and parsley to the rice. Stir to blend. Serve on hot plates, garnishing each portion with a lemon slice.

Steps:

• Simmer the haddock in 4 cups salted water for 10 to 15 minutes, but don't over cook. Drain the fish, saving the cooking water. Remove the skin and bones, and flake the fish, keep hot.
• Fry the onion gently in the butter with the garam masala and turmeric until softened.
• Cook the rice in the haddock water until tender, then drain and allow to dry out a little. Add the spiced fried onion to the rice and fold in the flaked fish and the roughly chopped eggs. Pour in the cream and add the quartered eggs. Season with salt, pepper and parsley.
