Ingredients

  • milk 600 ml
  • ground turmeric 1 tsp
  • curry powder 2 tsp
  • smoked haddock 2
  • basmati rice 240 g
  • frozen peas 200 g
  • onion 1 (diced)
  • egg 4 (boiled)
  • fresh parsley 1 handful (chopped)
  • cardamom pods 4 (crushed)

Method

Poach the smoked haddock

  • In a pan, gently heat the milk with the crushed cardamon pods, ground turmeric and curry powder.
  • Lower the smoked haddock into the milk and poach over a low heat for 5-8 minutes - until it is just starting to flake apart. Keep the poaching liquid as we will use this to cook the rice.
  • Take the frozen peas out of the freezer.

Cook the rice

  • Rinse the basmati rice in cold running water.
  • Dice the onion and fry off in a pan for 2 - 3 minutes. Then stir in the basmati rice.
  • Gently remove the haddock from the pan and strain the poaching liquid into the rice. Turn the heat right down, pop on a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Cook the eggs

  • For a soft boiled egg, cook your eggs in boiling water for 6 ½ minutes then refresh in ice cold water before peeling.

Finish & Plate Up

  • Chop the fresh parsley.
  • Add your peas to the rice and warm through then stir in the fresh parsley, have a taste and adjust salt and curry powder levels.
  • Flake the smoked haddock through the rice, load onto a plate and top with your eggs. Tuck in and enjoy!
