Ingredients

  • 600g natural (undyed) smoked haddock
  • 500ml milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150g lardons (diced bacon), or chopped streaky bacon
  • 2 sticks of celery , thinly sliced
  • 3 medium leeks , washed and sliced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 medium potatoes , peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 500ml fish or chicken stock
  • 125g frozen sweetcorn , thawed
  • 142ml carton single cream
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Lay the haddock in a deep frying pan and pour over the milk. Cover and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave undisturbed for about 5 mins, until the haddock is just cooked. Lift the haddock from the milk, remove the skin and bones and fl ake onto a plate. Reserve the milk for later.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan (preferably non-stick) and gently fry the bacon until starting to brown. Add the celery, leeks, bay leaves and potatoes, and cook for a couple of mins. Pour in the stock and reserved milk. Bring to the simmer and cook for 10 mins.
  • Add the flaked haddock, sweetcorn and cream. Season with pepper (it shouldn’t need salt) and stir in the parsley. Heat through gently, then serve.
