Cod kedgeree

🇬🇧
  1. Place 250 g cod fillets (desalted) in an ovenproof baking dish and bake for 10 minutes at 180°C until they are opaque and flaky.

  2. Remove the cod from the oven and flake into small pieces, discarding any skin and bones.

  3. In a deep frying pan, heat 2 tsp cumin seeds and 1 tsp mustard seeds until they are fragrant.

    Optionally crush them in a mortar to release their flavours and return them to the pan.

  4. Drizzle with olive oil, add 1 onion (finely chopped), 2 tsp turmeric (ground) and 1/2 tsp chili flakes, and sauté for 2 minutes.

  5. Add 200 g white basmati rice and 400 ml fish or vegetable broth to the pan. Add salt as necessary.

  6. Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, allowing it to cook for 10 minutes with the lid on.

  7. Once cooked, allow the rice to set for another 10 minutes without removing the lid.

  8. Soft boil 2 eggs for 6 minutes in a pan of water. Leave to cool.

  9. Shell the eggs and quarter them. Fluff up the rice with a fork and fold everything together with the cod before serving. Season with black pepper (crushed) and garnish with parsley.
