Kedgeree with eggs & tarragon butter
Serves 4
Preparation 20 minutes
Cooking 35 minutes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon turmeric
1½ cups basmati rice
¾ cup split red lentils
3 cups water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4–6 hen eggs or 8–12 quail eggs, hard-boiled and halved
salad of peppery greens, such as arugula, to serve
salt and black pepper
For the tarragon butter:
6 tablespoons butter, softened
¼ cup chopped tarragon
1 Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan, add the onion, cover, and cook gently for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
2 Stir in the garlic and turmeric and cook for a minute or two longer, then add the rice and lentils and stir until they are coated with the onion and spice mixture.
3 Pour in the water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let cook gently for 20 minutes, until the lentils are pale, the rice is tender, and all the water has been absorbed.
4 While the rice is cooking, make the tarragon butter. Beat the butter with a fork until creamy, then stir in the tarragon. Form into a log shape on a piece of wax paper or aluminum foil and refrigerate until required.
5 Using a fork, gently stir the lemon juice into the rice—this will brighten the color instantly—and season with salt and black pepper. Turn the mixture into a warmed shallow serving dish or onto individual plates and top with pieces of tarragon butter and the cooked eggs. Serve at once with a salad of peppery greens, such as arugula.
