Kedgeree

Recipe Ingredients

2		Eggs - hard-cooked
		Peeled - chopped fine
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Flaked finnan haddie - freshened, boned, skinned
		(or any smoked fish) - (see note)
3 cups	480g / 16oz	Cooked basmati rice - (try brown basmati)
3/4 cup	177ml	Heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Curry powder - (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Freshly grated nutmeg
		Generous grindings of pepper
3 tablespoons	45ml	Lemon juice
		Lime wedges

Recipe Instructions

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F Put the eggs, fish and rice in a large mixing bowl; toss together lightly to mix. Put the cream in a small saucepan, add the curry powder and nutmeg, heat, stirring until the spices are blended. Add the cream mixture, pepper, and lemon juice to the rice mixture, and gently toss. Taste for salt and seasoning and adjust if needed (the dish won't need any salt if the smoked fish is salty). Put the Kedgeree in a casserole and heat in oven only until piping hot. Serve on a platter surrounding softly scrambled eggs, and garnished with lime wedges.

NOTE: To freshen finnan haddie, soak it in cold milk for an hour, drain then poach it in fresh milk. The milk sweetens the fish and tames its saltiness.
