Quinoa Kedgeree

Kedgeree is a recipe that evolved from an Indian lentil dish called Khichri, to an English breakfast favourite.  Brits in India in the seventeenth century started making various changes, and back in the UK the addition of hard boiled eggs and smoked haddock went incredibly well with mild curry flavours.  This recipe uses quinoa instead of rice, making it a lot more nutritious, and low fodmap friendly (and it’s also a hit with kids!)

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 150g smoked trout, flaked
  • 200g white quinoa, cooked, rinsed, drained
  • 1 tbsp Herbie’s Mild Curry Powder or Medium Curry Powder
  • 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
  • 4 tbsp (100g) frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, cut into quarters
  • 1/2 bunch fresh coriander (approx 20g), roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • chilli powder or fresh chilli, optional

Instructions

  1. Remove any bones from the fish.
  2. Heat oil and add curry powder and cooked quinoa; stir until combined.

Notes

  • Use smoked salmon, smoked mackerel, or poached, un-dyed smoked haddock.
  • For a vegetarian version, roast cauliflower florets work well.
  • Replace quinoa with cooked basmati rice.
  • Prepare ingredients ahead for assembly under 5 minutes the next day.
  • If following low-fodmap diet, ensure peas to not exceed recipe amount (peas up to 1 tbsp/portion are low-fodmap).
