Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Jasmine White Rice rinsed
  • 2 cups Water for rice
  • 1 pound Smoked Haddock skin on
  • 2 cups Milk or Water for poaching fish
  • 2 large Eggs hard-boiled
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 medium Onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Mild Curry Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered off heat.
  • While the rice cooks, hard-boil the eggs. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water, peel, and quarter them.
  • Gently poach the smoked haddock: In a shallow pan, bring 2 cups of milk or water to a simmer. Add the smoked haddock and poach for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and opaque. Carefully remove the fish, flake it into large pieces, discarding any skin or bones, and set aside.
  • In a large pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Stir in the curry powder and turmeric powder, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the spices.
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan with the onions and spices, fluffing with a fork to combine. Gently fold in the flaked smoked haddock and most of the chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the Kedgeree to serving bowls. Garnish each portion with the quartered hard-boiled eggs and the remaining fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For extra richness, a splash of cream can be added with the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for a bright finish. Adjust curry powder to your spice preference. You can substitute haddock with other white fish, but smoked haddock provides the most authentic flavor.
