Smoked Mackerel Kedgeree

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I love Kedgeree but I have never made it with curry powder or smoked haddock instead I like to make it with smoked mackerel, turmeric, cumin and chili powder, it's very delicious.

Basmati Rice
Smoked Mackerel
Frozen petite pois
Onion
Free-range eggs
Turmeric
Chili Powder
Cumin
Salt

It's so simple to make, just cook your rice, fry the chopped onion in the spices and hard boil your eggs and peas. Mix it all together and flake the mackerel in near the end and that's all there is to it.

There is a very noticeable contrast in the photo's I have taken as the brighter ones are in my kitchen and the softer looking ones were in my living room under my lamp whilst I was eating the kedgeree but I can assure you it's the same kedgeree!

  2. Looks lovely. What quantities of spices did you use? I think I add too much turmeric when I use it.

  3. I always add peas Stephan, it makes it extra lovely!
    Hi Gary, I am afraid I am one of those people who do not measure anything and so I can't give you an exact amount of tumeric but I believe it may be around 2 teaspoons, I just add a little at a time unti, I think it's right.
    Thanks Jennifer.x

  4. Looks great. Smoked mackerel's undervalued.

    Is that blue egg a Cotswold Legbar? Think I got some from Waitrose once a few years back. Dunno if they tasted different, but they looked very smart :)

  5. Hi San, your so right in saying smoked mackerel is undervalued, it's pone of my most favourite fish to eat, Im happy to eat it on its own I love it so much! The blue egg is from one of my Mum's chickens, there funny little white and tan coloured things with feathers growing over there feet, I'll have to ask her what there called!
