Smoked Haddock Kedgeree Recipe 

+exeuroweenie Smoked trout is good too and easy to find in the supermarket.

Thanks,I tried smoked trout a few days ago.It's much better than kippers-milder and less fishy.

Sorted is first lol

Also if you add vinegar to the water, it tightens up the outside of the egg to reduce the amount of egg white strands that flay out. It doesn't add a vinegary flavour either, from experience.

Awesome tips!

White vinegar please!!

No... Ben's just got magic fingers

I was actually very troubled by that.

Cause he's been a chef for quite a while you build up resistance to heat...my old food tech teacher could literally take a roasting dish out of an oven with her bare hand xD

So you like, cook your hands so much that they're just another part of the dish?

Victor Gnoato it's more like his tolerance to extreme temperature is much higher as a result of cooking so much. his pain threshold is higher than someone who hasn't spent so much time cooking.... so.... magical fingers.

Sonali Manka Singh lol so was i. N yes love how Sorted made it. :)

I have smokie every morning.

But in the end, their are more Kebab shops than Chip shops in London. Who really won?

kitchidi is a different dish. This is a British dish.

The oldest recipe for kedgeree is from 18th Century Scotland and while the spicing definitely hails from India (India was pretty-much a Scottish colony) this is nothing like Khichdi.

And the oldest recipe for Haggis is from England What's your point?@@Alan_Mac

@@PaulHigham666 My point was so simple that anyone with an IQ above 50 would get it. That clearly excludes you.

You have to have High Quality Eggs for poached ones. Supermarket ones tend to do that. Xx ( disintegrate)

You'd be called a heretic and cast in to the forest

sounds lovely! I'll try that :)

I suppose it'd work, but I don't know if it could split when boiled.

it won't split with just fish in it... and if you add the lemon last after its cooled it'll turn out perfect. - speaking from mallu experience ;p :D

soldierside365 REALLY?? that sounds interesting! ¬¬

I've used kippers. They're a lovely alternative :)

I usually make this with Salmon, after having cooked a side of salmon its great to use up what's left over

maea05 Yes I have too, and smoked mackerel.

And then I challenge then to the Ice Cream bucket challenge!

+aquanette123 Any smoked white fish ideally. Kippers works too.

spuddy345 okay thanks :) I want to make this so badly but my town doesn't sell smoked haddock and I don't have a fish smoker

+aquanette123 Can you get smoked trout in the supermarket? If not google smoking fish, its actually really easy to do.

TheScouseassassin i don't know about trout, the big ones around me are smoked salmon and white fish. I'll see if any of the stores have trout though and then I'll look it up

Well here in the UK the stores stock peppered trout fillets in vacuum pack or adding to salads etc. I usually order my smoked fish online.

khichuri is a different dish. The first recorded recipe for Kedgeree is from Scotland in 1790.

That's actually a myth. If it does make someone sick then either they are allergic to seafood, lactose intolerant, or just ate spoiled food.

My mum cooks salmon with milk and we love it

I was told that too when I was growing up. Are you Muslim by the way? Because I think it's a religious thing. My family is Greek Orthodox Christian and I think that this belief is common among Muslims, Jews and some Christian groups. It actually comes from religious laws that prohibit the consumption of land animal products and sea/water animal products. I can't really remember where I read this. And yes, even though I know it won't really make me sick, seeing the fish in milk still makes me a little bit queasy... :-S

babablacksheepdog I don't know about Muslims but combining seafood (fish) and dairy is kosher, just not meat and dairy products.

But how could you make or enjoy Lobster bisque,clam chowder,any chowders?

Kippers :)

My english Gran used to use a nice piece of poached cod and she scrambled the eggs, lots of butter,pepper and salt mixed with leftover rice, Great breakfast!

Not for this dish, The meat needs to be of a flakey consistency. Chicken and rice with vegetables and egg poured over top and cooked is a chicken Frittata. Really good your wife should try it.

Wrong. It's a British dish and it is called Kedgeree.

This one's definitely an Indian influence rather than a Native American - curry powder and basmati rice aren't things I think you used to typically find in colonial North America ;)

Yeah, he's talking about people from India, that big country in Asia

He's not referring to Native Americans at all.

He kept referring to colonization, and the colonization of America is by a lot, more "profound" than India, so I thought that he was talking about Native Americans, I didn't know where curry came from, or "basmati". Sorry (not sarcastic).

John Desper Yeah, the Brits had alot of colonies back in the day. America was just one of them.

Suck it up. We won. We were the victors. Now we’re not. What goes around…

Colonial simply means that it came from one of the colonies that Britain had established in India. Its hardly offensive, and merely a fact of history.

I'd say it's more a reference to the time when the British empire still ruled.

Why the hell would it be sensitive?

from what I know, kedgeree was brought over to England when soldiers returned from the colonies because they missed the taste of India.

@@LysanDharker Partly true. Obviously smoked haddock isn't available in India so this dish was developed 'over here'.

havent you ever had poached kippers?
