A quick dinner made for one, made with the convenience of a packet of “boil-in-the-bag” kippers! Cook enough basmati rice for one
and while the rice is cooking, cook the kippers according to the packet directions – it suggested microwaving for a few minutes,
and that was so easy. Remove from the packet and flake onto a plate, discarding any skin and bones you might find. Meanwhile,
put an egg on to boil for about 7-8 minutes, until just hard-boiled. Sauté a chopped shallot in a little olive oil, then add 2-3 tsp
of curry powder, and stir until fragrant. Just before the rice is fully cooked, add a handful of frozen peas, continue boiling for
another couple of minutes, then drain and add to the onions, mixing well. Add the flaked kippers, chopped parsley and the
hard-boiled egg, shelled and quartered. Ensure it’s all piping hot, season with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
