Method (Smoked Haddock Rice)
- In a pan poach bring the milk and stock to a simmer , place the haddock in and remove from the heat, cover and allow to poach for 10 minutes.
- Remove the haddock from the milk/stock and flake the fish , reserve until needed.
- In a copper based pan, on a medium heat add the oil and the diced onion, sweat with no colour for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tumeric, curry powder, mustard seeds and gara masala and cook out the spices for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the rice and sweat for another 2-3 minutes.
- Begin to add the stock/milk a little at a time stiring regularly like a risotto.
- This will take 8-10 minutes – you may need a little more stock if its becoming dry , once the rice is tender, remove from the stove.
- And fold in the butter , chopped coriander stalk, chopped sultanas, flaked haddock and season to taste , once happy, pour into a tray and cover with clingfilm and allow to cool.
Method (Kedgeree Scotch Eggs)
- Boil the eggs for 6 minutes in boiling water.
- Place into and ice water to chill completely.
- Peel carefully.
- Split the rice mix into 6 even amounts, lay 6 sheets of parchment paper and place the rice on each. Spread the rice out evenly to a rough disc that would cover the eggs.
- Place an egg in the middle of each rice mix.
- Form the rice around the egg and smooth out. Don’t worry if it’s not an even covering as long as the egg is covered.
- Place in the fridge to chill.
- In a bowl break the eggs and whisk with a fork. Put the bread crumbs in another bowl.
- Coat the rice wrapped eggs in the flour and dust off the excess. Then dip into the beaten egg and then into the bread crumbs and make sure each egg is coated well.
- In a table top fryer, fill with vegetable oil and set at 180c.
- Fry the scotch eggs for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, remove and drain, and allow to rest for 2 minutes before eating.
Method (Mango Ketchup)
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend to a smooth puree.
To serve…
- Cut the scotch eggs in half, sprinkle with coriander and flaked almonds and a spoon of the mango ketchup.
technically really impressive. Served with a 10 year-old Tawny Port, it was a magical ending to the menu. The cherries and crumb gave such a satisfying crunch – a real, indulgent treat!
