Method
To make the smoked haddock with Welsh rarebit, heat the milk and cheese in a saucepan until the cheese has melted. Add the flour, mustard and breadcrumbs. Beat until it comes away from the sides of the pan. Season with salt and pepper and add the Worcestershire sauce. Leave to cool and then beat in the egg and egg yolk.ÌýChill in the fridge for about an hour before using.Ìý
Roll out the mixture on a work surface and cut to the size of the fish. Preheat a grill to high and place the rarebit-topped fish under the grill to blister before finishing off in the oven for 2–3 minutes at 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
To make the remoulade, place the celeriac in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Leave for 20 minutes to soften. Rinse the salt off and place in a bowl. Mix with the apple, vinegar, mustard and oil. Season well and stir in the chives.Ìý
