Cooking Tips and Tricks

To ensure your kedgeree turns out perfectly every time, Jamie and his Dad share some valuable cooking tips and tricks in this post.

Firstly, it's important to use a good-quality smoked fish for the dish. This will provide the characteristic smoky flavor that is essential to kedgeree. Opt for fish such as smoked haddock or salmon for the best results.

Next, don't be afraid to play around with the spices and herbs. Jamie and his Dad suggest using a combination of curry powder, turmeric, and fresh herbs like parsley or coriander. This will give your kedgeree a flavorful kick and a vibrant appearance.

When it comes to cooking the rice, aim for a slightly firm texture. This will prevent the dish from becoming mushy. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the rice before cooking can also help to enhance its flavor.

Finally, when poaching the eggs, be sure to use fresh eggs for the best results. A perfectly poached egg with a runny yolk will add a luxurious touch to your kedgeree.

By following these tips and tricks, you'll be able to create a delicious kedgeree that will impress your family and friends.
