Method

  • step 1

    Lay the haddock fillets in a shallow microwaveable dish and pour the milk over to half cover. Cover with cling film and microwave on High for 4-5 mins until the haddock flesh flakes easily. Meanwhile, get a pan of water on for the eggs.

  • step 2

    Crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach for around 1-2 mins until the white is set, but the yolks are still soft. Remove the fish. Heat colcannon in the microwave according to pack instructions.

  • step 3

    Mix half the chives into the colcannon, then spoon it between two plates. Top with the haddock and eggs and scatter with the remaining chives.

Colcannon is not potato and chives. Colcannon is potato and white cabbage or kale. Champ is potato and spring onions or chives!!

I made colcanon using the bbc goof food recipe and cooked the fish in a pan rather than the microwave. It was super easy and delicious.

What a poor recipe - in fact hardly a recipe at all!

...and it says £7.61 per serving, no way.

This is my go to comfort food dinner. Proper belly hug and the kids love it too. I also make my own colcannon. Ready made just does not cut it for me
