This spiced kipper fried recipe appeared in the January Delicious magazine. We love tinned kippers and mackerel so this dish really appealed, and we weren't disppointed!
The end result is soooooo good - we love it!! The smoky fish combined with spiced moist rice, slightly crunchy vegetables and topped with a soft boiled egg is just perfect in this simple, quick dish.
For those of you based in the US, you can buy tins of kippers from Bar Harbor Foods.
Tips
- Rice - 100g of uncooked basmati rice will give you approx. 250g of cooked rice.
- Eggs - fried eggs or soft boiled eggs (like the ones made in kedgeree) are a good alternative to poached eggs, if you prefer.
- This spiced kipper fried recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for more people.
