A Recipe From Our Head Chef: Kedgeree Arancini Recipe

Here at Lords of the Manor, our acclaimed Michelin restaurant is deservedly considered to be one of the finest restaurants in Gloucestershire.

With Autumn on the doorstep, we thought we would share with you a warming recipe from our Head Chef, Charles Smith. The perfect dish to share with friends over the festive period.

Kedgeree Arancini is a variation on the traditional Italian dish of stuffed rice balls. These mouth-watering spherical delights are filled with delicious flaked smoked haddock, boiled rice, parsley, hard-boiled eggs, and butter before being coated with breadcrumbs and then deep fried.
