A great Anglo-Indian classic of the British breakfast, served here as a complete dish: mild curry-scented rice, flaked smoked haddock, and tender hard-boiled eggs. It is comforting, delicately smoky, and very easy to make with ingredients commonly available in France.
Ingredients
- 400 g Smoked haddock
- 300 g Basmati rice
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 500 ml Reduced-fat milk
- 40 g Unsalted butter
- 1 piece Yellow onion
- 2 tsp Mild curry powder
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 0.5 bunches Flat-leaf parsley
- 1 piece Lemon
- to taste Fine salt
- to taste Ground black pepper
- pour cuisson Water
Method
- Rinse the basmati rice until the water runs less cloudy, then cook it in lightly salted water until the grains are tender but still distinct; drain and let cool uncovered so it dries out slightly.
- Place the smoked haddock in a saucepan with the milk and bay leaf, heat gently without bringing to a hard boil, then remove from heat as soon as the flesh becomes opaque and flakes easily.
- Remove the fish from the milk, strain the cooking milk, and reserve it; flake the haddock into large pieces, discarding the skin and any bones.
- Cook the eggs until the yolks are set but still jammy, cool them under cold running water, peel them, and cut them into quarters.
- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter and cook the finely sliced onion until it is soft, glossy, and smells slightly sweet.
- Add the mild curry powder and stir over medium heat until the spices smell warm and toasted, without letting them brown.
- Add the rice to the sauté pan, toss gently to coat it in the spiced butter, then loosen with a little of the reserved cooking milk until you have tender, fluffy rice that is not soggy.
- Carefully fold in the flaked haddock to maintain large pieces, season with pepper, taste before adding salt, then heat just enough to warm the fish through.
- Off the heat, add chopped flat-leaf parsley and a squeeze of lemon, then serve in warm plates or bowls topped with the egg quarters.
