Introduction

This is a VERY simple version of the original recipe that was modified by my mother. It tastes delicious and is very easy to prepare - the perfect comfort food! I've listed it as a main course as it is filling and a great supper, but I've also served it in very small portions as a starter (an alternative to risotto!) It's also a great way to use up left over boiled rice

Ingredients

Serves: serves 3-4

½ finely chopped onion
1 clove finely chopped garlic
½ lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoon turmeric
2 smoked haddock (non dyed)
3 cups basmati rice (cooked)
1 handful cilantro
1 handful fresh parsley
4 tablespoons heavy cream
3 medium boiled eggs

Poach the smoked haddock fillets. Remove from pan and leave to cool at room temperature.

SautÃ© the onion and garlic Add lemon juice, and then the curry powder and turmeric to create a paste. Fold in the cooked rice and season to taste.

Break the fish up with fingers, and fold lightly into the rice with the chopped herbs. I usually add a good handful but this depends on personal taste.

Stir in the heavy cream, and season again if necessary.

Turn into a serving bowl and decorate with quartered hard-boiled eggs and serve.
