Kedgeree is a flavorful and aromatic dish that has its roots in Anglo-Indian cuisine. Traditionally, it combines rice, smoked fish, eggs, and curry seasoning to create a heartwarming meal that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This recipe provides a delightful balance of spices, textures, and tastes that will surely satisfy your palate.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Finely chop the onion and parsley. Zest and juice the lemon.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper before baking if desired.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven, let it cool slightly, and break into large flakes with a fork. Set aside.
- While the salmon is baking, place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the water and place them in an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and roughly chop the eggs.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the butter and curry mixture.
- Add 6 cups of water to the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork.
- Gently fold the flaked salmon, chopped eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the cooked rice. Mix until well combined.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Kedgeree!
Tips:
- For the best results, use basmati rice as it provides a light and fluffy texture that complements the other ingredients.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of curry powder to suit your taste.
- Consider using smoked haddock or another smoked fish as an alternative to salmon for a more traditional twist.
- Boil the eggs to your preferred level of doneness. Soft-boiled eggs add a creamy texture, while hard-boiled eggs provide a firmer bite.
- Gently flake the salmon to avoid breaking it into too small pieces, ensuring that each bite has a good mix of fish and rice.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as peas or bell peppers, for extra color and nutrition.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs like cilantro or mint to enhance the freshness and aroma of the dish.
