KEDGEREE

You will need:

cold pressed virgin olive oil (LOL)
onion
garlic if you like it
brown rice
turmeric
button mushrooms if you like them
a pinch of curry powder (if you like)
pinch of chilli
chives
cilantro or parsley
black pepper (coarse grind)
Mrs Dash (yellow cap) original blend natural herb
2 hard boiled eggs if you wish

anchovies or "caviar" to garnish

shrimps in water
sardines in water
oysters in water
clams in water
kippers in water
tuna or salmon in water
or any other convenient fish you have lying around

What to do

Rice is more nutritious (also more soggy) if you soak it overnight so it starts to germinate. (I usually forget). Rinse.

If you plan ahead, open your tins of clams/oysters and other fish (but not the caviar) and dump all the fishy water in your rice saucepan.
Your rice will then taste good and fishy.

Add pinch of turmeric (a cancer fighter and brain booster) to turn the rice yellow as it cooks.

Set to boil.

Chop half a big onion or a small onion, and fry gently until translucent and floppy, using virgin olive oil.

Also fry your mushrooms. Button are better. The open ones make everything dark in color.

While frying, fry curry and chilli powder for just a minute.

Check rice. If it is boiling dry, either add hot water or set aside. Do not let it go soggy. When it is al dente (or however you like your rice... but you don't want it to look like tiny popcorn) set it aside.

Sort any shellfish to make sure the shell fragments are removed.
Throw in all your different sorts of fish. If you don't much like sardines, smash them until they are unidentifiable. They are a great source of calcium and omega-3 oils.

Heat and stir until it steams. Stir in the rice. Sprinkle on herbs.
Squeeze or chop and add garlic if you like it.

Call family to the table (or wherever you eat fork food).

Serve the anchovies or caviar in small amounts and cold. Never cook anchovy or it will turn into the most disgusting mush. You can't cook caviar, either.

You won't need salt. Pepper is nice.
English tea (with milk) goes very well with it.

You can reheat it for the next day's breakfast or brunch, too. Or, you can throw in some fried peppers, extra onion, peas or lima beans or other leftover veggies, and chunks of picked over chicken and call it "Paella".
