Smoked haddock rarebit with spinach

It's simply poached smoked haddock (you could also cook the fish in a microwave), with a rarebit sauce like you would put on bread: cheese, beer, mustard and egg — all served on top of spinach. Lovely. Go for undyed smoked haddock. The dyed stuff always tastes, well, dyed.

Welsh Rarebit traditionally uses beer or ale as an ingredient, and we prefer it that way. But some recipes substitute milk or cream, which is ideal for those who prefer not to use alcohol in cooking – see Notes for that version. We like to garnish this dish with fried bacon.

This version of rarebit is designed to be a quick meal or snack, and if you don't have the time or energy to roast some tomatoes, a simple green salad or even some pickles would make a great fast side.
