Help Please. Am Very Puzzled.

how would you cook a pair of kippers?

I know how I would usually cook them but have been asked to prepare them a different way and just wondered if this was a normal way for others that I had not heard of.

recipes please.

I usually grill them. How have you been asked to do it?

[mallyh]

i want to say set fire to the bed ..lol......grilling kippers is ok

If you enter kippers recipes on Google I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Usually I would poach them.
But maybe be shred them, add some veges, add some sort of sauce, cover them in mash, and bake it like a shepherds pie.
Just call it an "Anglers pie"

[lady-janine]

boiling.

[lady-janine]

poach? in what and with what lozzy? what does this do to the taste?

[RATTER15]

I like mine the same way as my smoked haddock, in a baking tray with a *** of butter and cover with foil and bung-em in the oven for 20 mins.

or on the hob in milk.

[lady-janine]

sorry I should have made it clear that are wanted for breakfast.

[mallyh]

put in a jug head down and pour boiling water over them is another way .

[lady-janine]

I have only ever grilled, fried or baked them. that's why i'm puzzled.

[Cloverjo]

I likes Ratter's idea of cooking in milk. Not sure I'd boil in water. Sounds like all the taste would disappear.

[lady-janine]

wouldn't poaching in water or milk destroy the texture?

[RATTER15]

For breakfast? in the oven.

[RATTER15]

I like them a little dryer for breakfast or if you like them moist do them in milk, lovely either way.

My preference; poach, definitely. They must be tender, grilling will make them hard.
If you don't have a poacher with a trivet, the simplest way is to place them on a dinner plate on a saucepan of boiling water (with *** of butter optional) and cover them with a second plate upside down.

[paddywak]

We normally have them grilled, but the best kippers I've ever had were straight out of Robson's Smoke house at Craster.We sat in the beer garden of a local pub and eat them still warm from the smoke house washed down with a couple of pints of Castle Eden.

The only time you might "boil" them is if they are pre-sealed boil-in-the-bag kippers?
