Buttery Leek and Smoked Trout Kedgeree

Recipe Description

This Buttery Leek and Smoked Trout Kedgeree recipe makes an easy weeknight dinner for two. Traditional kedgeree is a smoked fish, rice, and egg dish. It is usually made from smoked haddock. But from my point of view, any smoked fish is a good choice. So, I use smoked trout for this recipe.

Though kedgeree is considered a breakfast dish, I like to serve it as a lunch or light weeknight dinner. This smoked trout recipe with buttered leeks, curried rice, boiled eggs is perfect any day of the week. Nutritious, delicious, cheap, and quick to make. If you have a smoked fish and 30 minutes to spare, you are already halfway to a tasty meal.

To make the Buttery Leek and Smoked Trout Kedgeree, you will need the following ingredients:
