Kedgeree is a wonderful recipe that’s full of flavour. This adaptation uses smoked salmon instead of white fish. What makes it a summer kedgeree? We’ve packed this recipe full of fresh podded peas and snap peas, too.

If you don’t have fresh peas, take a look at this more traditional version which uses frozen.

Ingredients

3 tbsp vegetable oil
Knob of butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp garam masala
250g basmati rice
750ml vegetable stock, hot
110g fresh podded peas
120g sugar snap peas
320g hot-smoked salmon fillets, skinned and flaked into large chunks
3 tbsp double cream
3 shallots, finely sliced
4 large free-range eggs
Handful fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil and the knob of butter in a pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the spices and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the rice, stirring to coat. Add the stock, bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, blanch both types of pea in a pan of boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain. Fold the salmon, peas, cream and some seasoning through the rice. Cover again, remove from the heat and leave for 10 minutes.
Heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan. Cook the shallots over a medium-high heat, stirring, until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Fry the eggs in the pan until cooked to your liking. Stir the coriander through the rice, spoon among plates and garnish with a fried egg and the shallots.
