Vegetarian kedgeree (serves 2)
You will need:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 200g risotto rice (like Arborio rice)
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 3 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 800ml vegetable stock
- 150g vegetarian black pudding, cut into rounds and fried
- 2 boiled eggs, chopped
- Small handful of parsley or coriander, chopped
- Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and gently fry the onion until soft.
- Add the rice and spices, and stir for a minute until the spices release their aroma. Throw in the tomatoes and puree.
- Add a ladleful of stock and stir well until absorbed. Gradually add the rest of the stock, one ladleful at a time, until it's all absorbed and the rice is cooked.
- Add the vegetarian black pudding, boiled eggs and parsley and gently stir through to warm. Spoon into bowls and serve.
I'm so sad that this isn't called vedgeree.
ReplyDeleteVedgeree? Or vegeree? They're both quite pleasing.
DeleteIt shan't be called anything else now. This is how food of the future is created, Sara.
DeleteI once used quinoa instead of rice to make kedgeree, I called quedgeree. It didn't catch on.
DeleteVegetarian black pudding, yuk - the words 'black pudding' make me start to heave. And I hate tofu. Any other suggestions for a veggie ingredient for this? Mushrooms don't seem quite right. Cheese would be wrong. Lentils would make it like dahl.
ReplyDeleteAnd any ideas for a veggie mulligatawny?
Lentils (or mung beans) would make it into khichri, the Indian dish that inspired kedgeree, so you can't go too far wrong there. Otherwise, Sara has a great list of meat substitutes you can check out - http://www.domesticsluttery.com/2013/04/vegetarian-meat-substitutes.html
DeleteAs for mulligatawny, the Hairy Bikers' recipe is a good one, and it's veggie. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mulligatawny_soup_68949
