Instructions:
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes. Then, cool the eggs in cold water, peel, and quarter them.
- Poach the haddock: In a separate pan, pour in the milk and add the haddock. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily. Remove the haddock and flake it into chunks.
- Rinse and cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a large saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until softened. Stir in the spices and rice, then add 600ml of water. Simmer until the rice is tender, usually about 10-12 minutes.
- Combine the rice and fish: Gently fold the flaked haddock into the cooked rice, adding more butter if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Arrange the kedgeree on plates, top with quartered eggs, chopped parsley, and a wedge of lemon. Enjoy your homemade Kedgeree!
