  • Kedgeree / English brunch. Kedgeree is another classic Anglo Indian effort, from the time of the British Raj, the original Indian version was a lentil curry with rice, so the Victorian British officers had to make it a little more luxurious with the addition of poached smoked haddock and eggs. The result is my ladies favourite brunch dish ever. Please give kedgeree a try for breakfast, brunch, lunch or supper, you will not be disappointed.

    Excellent video. The extra bit of light hearted background information simply adds to this brilliant cookery lesson. Looking forward to more brunch dishes.

    This is the traditional breakfast of the British Army.
    We had it every weekend and great for a hangover.
    Serve with toast and a pot of strong loose leaf naafi tea.
    We were also pretty keen on the Nazi Goering.
    Another army dish from Empire adopted and brought home.
    Happy days

      Thanks so much for that, I just googled nazi goering (slightly worried) and there came up the result for nasi goreng a Malaysian rice recipe served with a fried egg.
      I bet knowing squaddy humour they deliberately changed the spelling for a laugh.
      It looks lovely by the way and I'm always looking for a new brunch recipe, so thanks again for sharing that.

    One of the best out there, try mixing in a tin of sardines, oil and all into onions while cooking, fish sauce can add more "fish" if smoked fish is mildly flavoured!

      Thanks I think the secret to a simple dish like this is give yourself time and keep a close eye on the heat levels, simmering and not boiling produces a nicer texture for this dish. The rice can be done in advance and cooled, same for the eggs and the curry sauce. So you can add the rice to the sauce to heat up for a couple of minutes once the fish is ready. Hope it goes well

      Basmati this time, but any long grain rice will work. I usually add the recipe in the description if you want to check it out. Thanks for commenting

    Did you forget to peel the garlic??

    • @unclemattscookerylessons
      @unclemattscookerylessons  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, I just had to re-watch this video and I used a garlic crusher. I did see Jamie Oliver crush garlic this way without peeling first and I can confirm this is a terrible idea as when I did it I broke my crusher. So i do recommend peeling the garlic. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment, UA-cam is hardly suggesting my channel these days so much appreciated x

    Looksd great and the eggs make the dish in my view. Your determination to remove the stach from teh rice is one thing I never understand. It's extra gtoodness in my view. I never watch my rice. When I bought rice overseas I would pick over it to make sure there were no stones in it, but it would then just go into thept and I would cook it with the absorption method as you used.
    When I make this when camping I tend to use tinned kippers, using the oil from the can to fry off the onions, Tastes pretty good, but cooking in the open air is always much better :)

    • @unclemattscookerylessons
      @unclemattscookerylessons  4 роки тому

      agree cooking over a camping stove somehow just makes it better, I really undercooked sausages when I was about 16 and camping with mates. Still ate them all and we were fine, love the idea of using the oil from the tinned fish.

      You could always cook the eggs separately, I was following the traditional method my friend?
