A fuss-free kedgeree with smoked mackerel, fragrant spices, and fresh vegetables. Perfect for a hearty, flavour-packed dinner or next-day lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 tbsp medium or mild curry powder
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 200g basmati rice, rinsed
- 600ml fresh vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 large eggs
- 100g frozen peas, defrosted
- 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 × 110g tins smoked mackerel fillets, drained
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped (optional)
- Juice of ¼ lemon
- Sea salt, to taste
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the rice and stir well to coat with the spices. Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, boil the eggs for 5 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water, then peel and halve.
- Once the rice is cooked, season with salt (the texture can be slightly moist). Stir in the peas and cherry tomatoes, cover again, and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Flake the mackerel over the rice, then scatter with spring onions and coriander (if using). Toss gently, top with the eggs, and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serving & storage
Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Best enjoyed cold or gently reheated.
Nutrition tip: Mackerel is rich in omega-3, vitamin D, and CoQ10 – making this a heart-healthy dish. To further support cardiovascular wellness and cellular energy, you might add a Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplement. Our natural CoQ10 levels decline with age and can be reduced by statin medications. Supplementing CoQ10 has shown benefits for some heart conditions and may help ease statin-related muscle pains (though evidence is still emerging). Overall, CoQ10 helps cells produce energy, so it can be a smart add-on for those looking to boost heart health and vitality in midlife and beyond.
