What on earth can I make? I need to use up the fish and the wine, urgently.

Have quite a bit of store cupboard stuff so please fire away with suggestions

have you rice? you could make a kedgeree, or ristotto

pasta? flaked fish, pasta, in a creamy wine sauce

what kind of fish is it

dividedself · 20/02/2008 16:15

I would love to make kedgeree but sadly only one of my dc will eat it so I'm not going to go there again as I nearly cried at the amount I had to throw away last time.

I do indeed have pasta and arborio rice though

it's smoked... cod fillets!

Smoked fish and poached eggs - no frozen spinach I suppose?
No 1 priority is to drink the wine
But tbh eggs, smoked fish and rice is screaming kedgeree
Would it be the rice that the dc wouldn't eat? How about kedgeree for everyone else and dry toast for said child

Fio, you forgot to say HTH at the end of your post.

Smoke cod soup

A large smoked cod (weighing around 2 lb)
1 medium onion, finely chopped.
Glass of white wine
1½ pints (900ml) milk
2 tablespoons butter
8 oz mashed potato
Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
Chopped parsley
Water
Triangles of toast (as an accompaniment)

Method
Cover the smoked cod with water, in a shallow pan, skin side down. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4/5 minutes, turning once. Take the haddock from the pan and remove the skin and bones. Break up the fish into flakes, return to the stock and add the chopped onion, bay leaf,wine, salt and pepper. Simmer for another 15 minutes. Strain, remove the bay leaf but retain the stock and fish. Add the milk to the fish stock and bring back to the boil. Add enough mashed potato to create the consistency you prefer (don't be afraid to make it rich and thick!). Add the fish and reheat. Check for seasoning. Just before serving, add the butter in small pieces so that it runs through the soup.
Serve with chopped parsley on top, accompanied by triangles of toast.

Mmmm soup is tempting as said dc can indeed just eat toast as the accompaniment

ooh, happy birthday dividedself

You could rustle up a nifty supper dish of eggs baked in spinach and creme fraiche, with grilled smoked cod on top (not forgetting toast for naysayers)

That soup sounds great. I love smoked fish.

do you have potatoes? if so you can make a kind of salad nicoise with smoked fish instead of tuna (but ditch the tomatoes)
then drink the wine
