Smoked Trout Kedgeree

Well, the title says it all, really. I feel usurped by my own title. What is my life coming to? Kedgeree, that's what.

There was some hot smoked trout on the cheap at M&S (look, concerned relatives, I know it sounds like I shop A LOT at M&S but honestly I just go when everything's reduced. And I don't go that often anyway). It was only £1 for three fillets and, oh gosh, was it good. It was so moist and flaky and delicously smoky. In fact, now I think about it, I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've ever had trout. How bizarre.

Anyway I was completely stuck for what to do with it since it needed eating up fairly fast. I googled smoked trout, and up came kedgeree. Aha! I thought. I haven't had kedgeree since... Well.... I'm not sure. Not for a while, anyway.

So here goes...

I cooked some basmati and let it cool. I also boiled an egg. Then I fried some spring onion and green chilli in butter, added some curry powder and turmeric, dolloped in some cream and mixed in the rice.


I then stirred in most of the trout, loads of pepper, fresh coriander and parsley, and shoved it on a plate with the rest of the fish and my egg. I was really pleased with my egg- if I could boil an egg like that when I want a dippy egg and soldiers, I'd be over the moon.

 

It was really really good - nice and spicy and the fish was delicous. It could have done with a bit more coriander and a bit less curry powder, but I'll know for next time. Turns out I made an absolute ton, so my friend Iveta finished it off for me. I will never learn how much rice to cook.

So, on a scale of one to yummy, about a 13.

  1. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave
    it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
    pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    from veggies and fruits within just your smoothie mix, require a perfect blender or food processor.
    The majority never observe the idea and you also should probably take into account best
