INSPIRED BY THE TRADITIONAL DISH MADE WITH SMOKED HADDOCK, THIS LIGHT FISH AND RICE DISH WITH BOILED EGGS IS A DELICIOUS, LIGHTLY-SPICED SEASONSTARTER. Serves 4 • 1 Tbsp butter • 2 Tbsps olive oil • 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped • 2 cloves garlic, minced • small piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped • 1 Tbsp medium curry powder or masala mix of your choice • 500ml

stock of your choice • 250g basmati rice (regular long-grain rice is also good) • 300g cleaned, skinned and deboned fresh white fish – hake, kingklip, dorado, or the traditional smoked haddock (not the horrible dyed junk from a box) • ½ cup frozen peas To serve: • 3 eggs, medium to hard boiled • handful of chopped coriander • fresh sliced red chilli (optional) Heat oil and butter in a pan on medium heat, add garlic, ginger and onion. Sauté until soft and fragrant. Add curry powder and cook for two minutes, mixing constantly so as to not burn. Add stock and rice, bring to the boil, then cook until rice is almost done. Add more water if rice is drying out. Cut fish into chunks, season, and add to rice with peas. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Cover and leave to stand. Serve with quartered boiled eggs placed over rice, with fresh coriander leaves and cracked black pepper, and chilli if desired. Until next time, let’s agree that while salads may save the world, spring chickens are delicious too.
