kedgeree

kedgeree

Serves 6
This is a traditional British breakfast from colonial India and it’s a lovely little dish, with a nice balance of spicy and smoky flavours. It makes a tasty lunch or supper too – so get stuck in!

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then hold under cold running water. Put the fish and bay leaves in a shallow pan with enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from pan and leave to cool. Remove the skin from fish, flake into chunks and set aside.

Cook the rice in salted water for about 10 minutes and drain. Refresh in cold water, drain again, and leave in the fridge until needed. Melt the butterghee in a pan over a low heat. Add the ginger, onion and garlic. Soften for about 5 minutes, then add the curry powder and mustard seeds. Cook for a further few minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and lemon juice.

Quarter the eggs. Add the fish and rice to a pan and gently heat through. Add the eggs, most of the coriander and the chilli and stir gently. Place in a warm serving dish. Mix the rest of the coriander into the yoghurt and serve with the kedgeree.

11. Linda Sat 12 Jul 2008 21:17 Hi Jamie!

I love your English Onion Soup! I shared it with my office and now, several of us make it at home at least twice a month. It is refered to now as "The Soup." My mom hated my plain, low-fat cooking, so I gave it up! She requests the soup at least twice a month, sometimes once a week. I use a french bread from the grocery store bakery (toasted, of course) and top it with a 4 cheese Mexican blend that includes the cheddar. I was glad to see you use the chicken stock as that is what I used too.

I see you now on the Food Network, but wish you were on more often than the 1/2 hour show on Saturdays only. Who have you worked with from the Food Network (besides Rachel Ray here in Miami)? Sorry, I did not realize you were going to be here back then or I would have made the trip down from Fort Lauderdale.

Thank you!

Linda in Florida


12. Sérgio Wed 09 Jul 2008 01:39 Hi Jamie! I´m brazilian and I always see your show in GNT. You really are a great chef, congratulations.

17. Sue Fri 04 Jul 2008 09:19 Hello Jamie
Please can you help.
I recently baked Choolate Fondant Puddings but when they came out of the oven they collapsed.
The filling in the middle was nice and runny and the sponge tasted really nice and was really light.
I left them in the fridge for 40 minutes and then baked them at 180 degrees farenheight for 12 minutes.
Please could you tell me if i am doing this wrong or give me any tips so they wont collapse when baked.
Thanks
Sue

25. Elizabeth Fri 27 Jun 2008 22:13 Hi Jamie

Never done this before so here goes....I am so proud of you! Please don't stop educating the public because it is so important. There is so much we, the public, are not told.

I am a mother of two with a full time career. I buy organics on line, do the free range/organic and home cook....well to be honest I get up early on a Saturday...cook in batches and freeze for the week. The reason I do this is because I get in after my children have eaten.

What I would love...is for YOU to come up with recipes for batch cooking..for the busy mad women who gets up on 6am on Saturdays to do this....it is not as mad as it sounds because I love my own time pondering around my kitchen.

with warm regards

32. Eva Sat 21 Jun 2008 21:14 Hi Jamie,

My mother and all of us at home love your recipes! She has literally changed her style of cooking and adapted to what she has learned from watching your series. She always says: "My friend Oliver..." We are from Barcelona, and always comment that you should do the Spanish escape. If so, my mom would like to meet you and show you how she makes her secret "fideua" similar to paella. Do let us know, since you are part of the family.

40. pinky Sun 08 Jun 2008 07:56 hi,
i am just wondering the title of that salmon fish wrapped in a newspaper with all the herbs stuffed inside and out of the fish and turn it to the grill. Anyone of you here knows the recipe? can you share it with me. i've been looking at jamie's website but unable to find it because too many episodes. i couldn't find the right title of that episode when he and his friends went to a beach and he does some grilling. I couldn't forget that whole salmon stuffed with all the herbs, really and then watching hoe he carefully wrapped the salmon with a newspaper and turn it to a grill. I feel hungry now, i just want to try it with different kind of fish beside salmon. Anyone here who could help me out?

appreciated so much for your help,
pinks

50. alicia Tue 27 May 2008 05:10 Hi Claudia! I too have been looking for this recipe EVERYWHERE!!! How ironic that we were both looking for the same two year old recipe within days of each other! I live in Australia and you are in Mexico-such is the global community we all live in!!! Anyway, after much searching I found it and thought I would share the address with you-

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_18055,00.html
If that doesn't work, just go to the food network site, and search the recipes for 'Brunch Breads', the recipe is there! Best wishes and happy eating Claudia! Alicia :)

A couple of years ago I saw a TV show where you did (for breakfast) a kind of pizza with Nutella and banana and then (I think it was the same episode) you went to the beach and had a grilled fish, grilled in a newspaper!!! for lunch. Where can I get those recipes. Does anyone know. I've been regretting not taking notes forever. Thanks a lot.
56. Barb Mon 19 May 2008 16:46 Jamie, It was fun to watch you cook; your delicious Rice Pudding with homemade Strawbery Jam on television. I having difficulties finding this recipe. "Does anyone know this recipe?" I would appreciate any help in locating this recipe. Keep up the good work Jamie.

58. The*Cutest*Chef Sat 17 May 2008 23:18 Hiya
You can make burgers with cheese in them. If you have a burger recipe, the follow the recipe, but before you fold the burgers up into the circle shapes, add a chunk of mozzerella cheese, and it will melt while you cook the burgers, and it is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Try it and I bet you will get full marks!!!!!

59. Charlotte Sat 17 May 2008 17:55 Hi, i have to make a homemade burger next week for school, and i wanted to include cheese in th actual meat, is this possible?
60. Ben Fri 16 May 2008 19:04 Hi Jamie! I love all of your recipes!

sincerely
Claire
62. Anne Wed 07 May 2008 08:01 Can you confirm what the measurement is for the butterghee, currently sits as '110' imagine it should be grams but best to check :) Does the recipe lose something essential when you don't use coriander? Neither of us are that fussed about using it, sorry about that!

Then, we invite our family to enjoy the pumpkin soup with toast and the muffins with limon cream... It was wonderfull... I'm sure that you would like come to Brazil, here we have many seasonings, fruits, meat and tastes very different than European. It would be a pleasure if you came in our country! Good luck....

77. A Sat 17 Nov 2007 19:34 the dish was very easy to make. It tastes wonderful and looks exactly like it does in the picture.
78. patricia Sun 14 Oct 2007 17:08 A long time ago I've eaten a different recipe of Kedgeree... can't wait to eat this one! Jamie's one!
79. Geets Sat 25 Aug 2007 14:49 Ghee is just butter simmered on low heat (nearly an hour or so) until it separates. skim the top and discard. set aside rest of liquid, it will harden as it cools. this is what indian people call ghee.
80. Stacy Mon 13 Aug 2007 02:17 I visited England this past May and was cooked Kedgeree and loved it and have been looking for the recipe. I can not wait to cook it for my friends here in New Brunswick, Canada
81. jill Sat 04 Aug 2007 00:25 butter ghee is used in indian food, like pulao rice. it is a clarified butter. I buy online from

www.theasiancookshop.co.uk

it gives a real indian flavour!
82. John S. Purdon Sun 22 Jul 2007 16:47 I am afraid I do not know what butterghee is. It is unknown (as far as I know) here in Ontario. Please advise as I fondly remember kedgeree from my childhood in England 70+ years ago! Regards, John
83. siobhan Thu 12 Jul 2007 17:13 i use tuna fish in oil and it is great -- love this recipe
84. robin Mon 09 Jul 2007 22:22 excuse my ignorance...but what the heck is "butterghee"? what can i replace it with, as i'm sure i've never seen it sold here (u.s.)? thanks!
85. JennyR Fri 29 Jun 2007 20:46 Love this recipe, I use Patak's curry paste instead of the powder tho, seems to work better.
86. Daniela Thu 14 Jun 2007 11:52 as I can't find smoked haddock fillets ( I live in Bologna, Italy ) which other fish can be used for this lovely recipe that reminds me my good days in London????
