Kippers are cold-smoked herring and the best kind are tobacco brown in colour and come from Scotland. This dish marries kippers with that other Scottish favourite, marmalade to produce a very distinctive breakfast dish.

Ingredients:

4 pairs of kippers
60g unsalted butter
orange wedges, to serve
4 slices of good brown bread, toasted and buttered
4 tbsp orange marmalade (Dundee is best)

Method:

Remove the heads from the kippers and trim the tails. Line a grill (broiler) pan with foil then place the kippers on top, setting them skin side uppermost. Cook under a pre-heated, moderate, grill for 1 minute. Turn the kippers over and spread the flesh side with a little of the marmalade. Dot with butter then grill for a further 5 minutes, or until the flesh is sizzling.

Serve one pair to a portion on well-buttered toasted brown bread. Garnish each kipper with orange wedges and a good dollop of marmalade.
