Kedgeree

0

My New Year’s resolution is going well. With the exception of one day where I totally forgot, I’ve been out for a walk every day, usually for 20-40 minutes. I haven’t found any really exciting new places to go yet, and often it’s just a case of walking to the shops and back, but I’ve been to the beach once, and today I went down to the quayside and discovered some ruined city wall right behind the office where I worked for five years. I’d had no idea it was there.

I’ve also been enjoying cooking lots of healthy meals from scratch, and have decided to share some of my own creations on this blog – starting with tonight’s kedgeree. Please note that yes, I am a hypocritical occasional-fish-eating vegetarian :P and by “healthy”, I mean nutritious, not weight-loss-friendly. (I’ve started learning about the Health at Every Size approach, but that’s for another post!)

Moon Tree’s Mackerel Kedgeree – Serves 2

Mackerel kedgeree

This recipe is very loosely based on Delia Smith’s buttery kedgeree.

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 25g butter (I used butter because we had some that needed using up, but I imagine a tablespoon of olive oil would also work.)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 120g long-grain or basmati rice
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • some mangetout peas
  • 1 tin mackerel (125g), drained and broken up with a fork
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

1. Hard boil the eggs.

2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan or wok. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes or until soft.

3. Add the spices, mix well and fry for about 30 seconds.

4. Add the rice, carrot, peas and 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. You may need to add more water if it’s all been absorbed before the 15 minutes are up.

5. Towards the end of the cooking time, peel and chop the eggs.

6. Stir in the eggs, mackerel and lemon juice. Allow to warm through, then serve.

My apologies for the lack of photo. I only decided to blog the recipe after OH and I had nommed the lot. :P Next time I’ll be better prepared!

Edited to add photo: the same recipe, but made with green pepper instead of mangetout peas.
