How To Make The best Kedgeree | Easy & quick Scottish recipe

[@Sibes3]

Thank you for this. My British father often made this dish when my Mom was still alive. At 101 he now lives with us and thought he might like to eat this but I couldn't find Mom's recipe. He'll be a happy man tonight!

[@jerim4543]

Hi Cheryl, you always preface your videos by saying you're not a chef, but that presentation was pretty darn chef-y. And for someone who doesn't like eggs, they were cooked to perfection. I hope Mr. What's for Tea gave you a standing ovation.

[@lauraellen189]

I love kedgeree and I have made it a couple times. I can't find smoked haddock in the US Midwest but I used smoked trout and it was delicious! Those egg yolks...wow!

[@kristinrae1]

It’s so disappointing that we don’t have smoked haddock or smoked cod in the US 😩

[@borderreiver1806]

If you have a friend with a smoker it's not too hard .. I use cod , halibut or buy alaska or BC black cod even sable.. hope this helps .. Costco usually has frozen portions ..for this type of dish , not a problem with smoking previously frozen fish..

[@VLind-uk6mb]

@@kristinrae1 Same in Canada. But there is a product called kippered herring, various flavours, which are smoked. I often use those. When I don't have them but crave kedgeree, I just use a tin of good sockeye salmon. I also add frozen peas at the end. Never used lemon before but I will try it -- I really like this recipe.

[@azaramoon4027]

smoked cod works just as well.

[@hellohandsome9875]

@@kristinrae1 why?

[@kcinca5410]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the alternative measurement for a knob of butter. We've been guessing in our house for quite some time now. I wasn't sure about this dish when I first saw it but you've made it look so fab, I think I'll have to try it.

[@jamesgoacher1606]

I am certain I made Kedgeree once, ages ago, like 50+yrs. I have not eaten it since, I have no idea why. Maybe I screwed it up but you have made this look easy as usual.

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Thanks for this recipe! Not a usual thing in my corner of the world. The colors are so lovely; amazing egg yolks, and the kedgeree itself! I think turmeric is just fantastic, love the flavor and the color it imparts. ATB, Cheryl!

[@sueliciousable]

I was really stuck for tea with some smoked haddock I had left in my freezer. I loved your recipe and so did my family. Thank you.

[@Getpojke]

Brilliant stuff! I love kedgeree & my father taught me to make it as a bairn so it always brings back memories of family Sunday breakfasts. Such a nice Sunday breakfast or for lunch or supper at any other time. I sometimes make it with fresh Arbroath smokies if I've been through there to pick them up. The extra juicy smoky flesh of them really adds to the dish. [also great with a side of crispy sautéed Bombay potatoes if you have leftovers of them!🤤] I've missed the fish van for this week, he was 'round this morning, but you've really put me in the mood to have it nest week now. Very posh presentation you had there, I usually just have a heaped plate. But yours is better for entertaining. Cheers for putting me in the mood for it, I've been letting things slide in the kitchen of late.

[@Getpojke]

@@buffys3477 Hope you enjoy it, hankering after one myself after watching Cheryl's video.

[@robertlower6212]

Kedgeree, a real favourite since childhood! Mother did have a good repertoire from the 40's and 50's!

[@janettesinclair6279]

"A wee skoosh of lemon juice..." You made me smile with this Scottishism! I like the idea of using leeks not onions in this dish for easier cooking. Yum....

[@VLind-uk6mb]

I have always used onions but will definitely try it with leeks in the future.

[@ltkerr4688]

Oh my Cheryl! Looks yummy. I remember my Nan fixing this every so often - not too often though. I will definitely be cooking this up soon. Thanks for the recipe. Take care.

[@peterostermiller3576]

I’ve lost track of the years of all of the BBC shows where part of the English morning breakfast buffet is this dish. Not sure I would make it, enjoyed seeing you make it.

[@leighl3712]

Oh I’m going to give this a go for sure. If it’s anything like the cheeseburger pasta bake it will be off the charts. BTW, I forgot how much I enjoyed mushrooms until I made that.

[@rachelhudson8362]

My mom used to make amazing kedjeree. It's an Ango Indian dish. Absolutely delicious.

[@sleepyanna8188]

Same here !

[@joscott6476]

Another one to try !! Many thanks xx

[@yroppoor]

i have this from time to time for backfast/brunch in the summer

[@susanfryer1616]

Another lovely meal thankyou x

[@janetdaniel9661]

Will def addthis to my menu next week many thank for another good video

[@kathyherman7079]

Thanjs I’m going to try this recipe

[@jankitteringham8483]

Lovely recipe Cheryl and great presentation! 💐🇬🇧🥰

[@valeriegardiner3591]

Looks great will try this next week thank you

[@grahamturner5963]

Love me some kedgeree. First tried it at school (over 40 years ago 😯) and have made it once or twice since

[@mrsapplez2007]

Def gonna try this

[@kristinrae1]

Wow this recipe sounds amazing! I love these traditional recipes and can’t wait to try it!

[@annbrookens945]

I live in the US and I always wondered what kedgeree was! This looks good; I'll definitely have to try it!

[@janetburns7665]

Made this for the first time ever just last week. I’ve always put off because my husband isn’t too keen on fish but he did give it a try but he didn’t give it a big thumbs up 😆 so it’ll not be added to the menu. Your recipe with the leeks looks really tasty and your presentation was spot on. X

[@VLind-uk6mb]

You could make it without the fish and use it as a side dish -- it's a very tasty rice recipe.

[@maryroberts1161]

Thank U Cheryl, it looks v tasty

[@sunowl5301]

Looks wonderful!!

[@janiceburgess5906]

Lovely recipe. Kedgeree is one of my favourites and this recipe simplifies it. Cooking the fish in the oven is a better idea than poaching it.

[@CE-vg1sf]

Thank you so much for posting, this looks amazing!!! My husband and I decided to try this next week with mushy peas :)

[@jeanwalker3697]

Beautiful presentation!!

[@MrsCheetah1]

Oh my goodness that brings back precious memories of my sweet mama who used to make this for us regularly! ❤

[@emeraldalba]

I'm going to try this on sunday. Looks fabulous

[@mrsoatso6331]

I love Kedgeree, the flavours are so moreish! 😍😍

[@davidcufc]

I've never had kedgeree, but it looks good. I'm going to give it a go.

[@kennethoblenesjr8493]

Quick and easy

[@DLFH]

What a happy find coming across your channel looking for a kidgeree recipe. In a book I'm reading they are eating kedgeree and not knowing what it was I looked it up. The dish sounded like something I would enjoy so here I am finding a wonderful new recipe and a great new to me channel. Cheers!!

[@robertballuumm730]

An absolutely wonderful recipe. I eat kedgeree once a week as it's so easy and quick to prepare.

[@seanlatimer5871]

Beautiful presentation 👍

[@irisElee]

Oooooh, yummy looking eggs! Look forward to trying this.

[@philiphaigh8349]

Thank you I will give it a try x

[@MapleDaze]

loved the time lapse rice!

[@amyoung101]

Such a unique and new dish to me. Looks absolutely amazing!

[@SoNo23098]

I made this today and it was fantastic! Thank you for a great video which was very easy to follow! Will be doing this again 😊

[@TheLuciddreamer79]

Lovely presentation! I was reading Scarlett this morning and in the book she chooses to have this for breakfast at a house party in Ireland. Curiosity got the better of me and here I am! It looks ever so tasty. Being a Yank, I'm not at all accustomed to having fish for breakfast. I don't think I've even had haddock ever! 😳 But I'm nothing if not adventurous and look forward to giving this recipe a try! Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@borderreiver1806]

Thankyou , this takes me back to a small child close to 70 yrs ago.. My great Aunt and Uncle lived on Uist and we spent most of our summer between there or down on Arran.. My Great Aunt was a neat lady ,she came from Labrador Canada and was 1/2 Eskimo/ /Native and 1/2 Hudson Bay Company fur trader ( My Great Uncle) .. anyway , they basically crofted and fished to survive .. Kedgeree, her version was much like yours with home smoked Haddock and a mix of wild and "Indian" rice and Gannett eggs or the eggs from the free range chickens down on the shore.. sometimes Duck eggs if a big meal.. I do remember a curry sauce /glaze that was there as well.. My eldest sister who's almost 80 still cooks this minus Gannett eggs for her family back in Newfoundland , seems to be a hit .. Washed down with home brewed ginger beer ..

[@dajw]

Lovely. Now I need to make this.

I love this, Anything with smoked cod I enjoy :) Same rice as me, Basmati. Hope you had a nice easter weekend, read there's snow on the way to Scotland next week, lets hope it's not too much, just a light dusting :D

[@southerncooker6475]

You sell yourself short I think. Everything you make looks absolutely delicious! You make it look so easy too. I could only hope to cook as well as you!

[@patrickdbuck]

Made this and it was good

[@glennfyfe1357]

I’m trying this, thanks

[@lorrainevart8827]

Used boil in the bag rice with stock cube and left it to cool. Made it essy

[@kevinbyrne4538]

I'd never made kedgeree because smoked haddock isn't available where I live. But since it can apparently be made without smoked haddock, I may try It.

[@GreatDayEveryone]

This is so much better than my mom's recipe (spices are salt and pepper in our house!!)

[@halemcdan1]

Thanks for mentioning to rinse the rice. I've seen two celeb chefs show similar recipes and they didn't.

[@margaretrobinson1670]

Hi Cheryl, I’ve never heard of it but it looked delicious.😋

[@itsmeintorrespain2714]

My dinner for tonight except that I'll be using the yellow, dyed, haddock cos that's what I have and parsley instead of chives. Great recipe, thanks!

[@meredithgreenslade1965]

Looks lovely. It's a long time since I've had kedgeree. I'm not a fan of eggs either so I would leave them out too.

[@lyngf6707]

Have always wondered what this dish consisted of; totally NOT what I thought lol. Wondering can u add/use any other spices of course realize the curry is basic flavor, and sub green/spring onions since leeks are hard to find in local markets? Really want to try this for a family breakfast! Thx again for posting.

[@patriciacarline6975]

I make this with shallots and finish with spring onion if I have no fresh chives. Do not be tempted to use any spices but garam marsala and turmeric as anything else destroys the flavour of the smoked haddock! You also do not need to add lemon - I never have, it makes it acidic instead of creamy! I have been making this for over 60 years and we love it!

[@kimbradley1292]

That's posh Cheryl lol. It's very popular though. Thankyou for sharing x

[@melanytodd2929]

Thanks for this recipe ❣ MUCH better than mine! Living in johannesburg, fish is not that great, so I used hake fillets. I've also never put lemon juice in... delicious ❣ 😋

[@mohammedarfan5499]

Wow nice vlog

I'd just love some undyed smoked haddock but here in Spain....

Hubby is going to see his brother for a couple of days. Guess what I am going to cook. 😋 😋

[@mrsoatso6331]

Hello there! 😍😍

[@shadodragonette]

Not all of us want rice that separates like that. I am still learning to use chop sticks, so sticky rice works better.

[@lisamckay5058]

That looks delicious! Wouldn't a poached egg be nice, too? Letting the yolk spill over the top? Cheryl, would you have considered one of your pickled eggs with this?

[@VLind-uk6mb]

No and no!

[@Alan_Mac]

I like making kedgeree and you're right about poached eggs but pickled eggs? No!

[@wewomenwhowander9955]

So... that's a no, then?

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

I was just thinking about this 😀🤔🧚

[@steemdup]

basmati somehow cooks perfectly every time

[@thefullsp]

In Mauritius they make this by poaching the fish with skin on then add take out the fish add rice and cook the rice in the fish water - bolst curry powder

[@GaryBoyd02]

Whenever I see Kedgeree I always think of the Two Fat Ladies as they made it and that was where I was introduced to it. They were hilarious always making fun of vegetarians but also gave great history to their dishes. And that motorcycle.....LOL although Jennifer did drive one in real life all her life. Wait a minute....... I know another cook who drives a motorcycle........lightening bolts in my head have just gone off! Mind blown. In fact I think I am going to look up that episode right now I need to see that again.

[@carenburger]

today i learned that its turmeric not tumeric 😀 thanks, cheryl!

[@AKBrechin]

The Bee Gees’ favourite.

[@michaelstevens1027]

I’d never seen or heard of Kedgeree until the actress playing Margaret Thatcher in The Crown whipped some up for her cabinet members

[@duncanmit5307]

💜👍💜👍💜

[@michelebartholome7798]

Just thought if you cannae get fresh fish I was thinking a. Can of salmon

[@systemSkynet]

Leftovers for me then

[@williammckee6165]

this looked good but unfortunately I can't eat seafood, I have been learning Japanese language and watch a lot of Japanese TV programs I like their cooking programs and I pick up a lot of tips, if you prefer your rice light and fluffy soak it in cold water before you cook it also Japanese people eat cold rice they eat a lot of onigiri which are rice balls and they come a many shapes, Japanese rice is known as sticky rice and is sweet tasting and it is short grain rice, here in the UK it is difficult to find short grain rice unless you know what you are looking for, we tend to call it pudding rice try using short grain aka pudding rice for your kedgeree you may be pleasantly surprised if you go to Japan and have a curry and rice it will be served with short grain rice I think South Korea is the same they use short grain rice

[@madhuradatar6344]

Its an East Indian dish

[@winstonschwarz1636]

Not a fan of eggs?

You can substitute with a jobby instead.
