Kedgeree
Ingredients
- 120g rice
- 600ml stock
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp English curry powder
- 1 tsp tumeric
- 5 curry leaves or 3 bay leaves
- 2 fillets smoked fish
- 1 chilli
- 1 tbps butter
- 1 lemon sliced into quarters
- 1/2 cup yoghurt
- 1 bunch coriander
- Zest of 1 lemon
Directions
- Get 600ml of stock to the boil, then add the eggs and set the timer to soft boiled (take eggs out of the stock when they are cooked).
- In another pan, fry the onion with the curry powder, tumeric and a little oil. After a few minutes, add the garlic.
- Once the onion is starting to brown, add the rice and stir. As soon as it’s mixed, add in the stock.
- Keep the rice on medium high and occasionally stir. You might need to add a little water.
- Once the rice is cooked, add in the seafood and butter. Season after tasting, as the fish might be salty. Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle coriander on as garnish.
- Mix the yoghurt, lemon rind and coriander. Serve with rice.
Not the usual brunch fare, but this colonial throwback can also make an easy dinner. Recipe serves two.
