Quick Kedgeree

Seeing as were camping by the sea we decided to use some local fish for supper.  This very simple kedgeree is very easy to make, takes little time and few ingredients, making it perfect for camping.  It is also fab at home as a quick supper or a hearty breakfast.

(To serve 2)
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion
Half a bay leaf
Pinch cayenne pepper
Small sliver of lemon peel
100ml milk (approx)
1 packet quick cook/microwave rice
1 or 2 hard boiled eggs
Smoked haddock (as much or as little as you want!)


Melt a large knob of butter or a glug of oil in a pan, add finely sliced onion and fry gently until golden.

Add the rice and use double the amount of milk instead of however much water it says on the packet.  As we were camping and I had nothing to measure with I just guessed, it still worked, so don't be too worried about quantities!  If you have access to them, chuck in the bay, lemon and cayenne pepper.  Cook over a gentle heat until the rice is almost cooked but still has a slight bite to it.

Add the fish broken into pieces.  We used an oak smoked haddock bought from a fab little fishmongers just off the sea front in Lyme Regis.  It smelt amazing!

If you have the resources/time you can also add a couple of chopped hard boiled eggs at this point.

Heat until the fish turns opaque, add a large spoonful of butter and a small pinch of salt and serve immediately.

If possible enjoy outside with a sunset and a glass of cider!
