Spicy cauliflower kedgeree recipe

Cauliflower kedgeree is a twist on the classic rice-based dish that we’ve lightened up by using cauliflower. Kedgeree is a curried rice dish with smoked fish, parsley, and eggs. We’ve omitted the eggs to keep things simple, and used a mix of basmati rice and blended cauliflower to recreate the flavours of a kedgeree while making it a dish that is a bit different. Cauliflower kedgeree is a healthy and flavourful fish dish that makes a great light lunch or simple supper. Why not try serving it with a take on a raita made with Greek yoghurt, mint, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. We used frozen smoked haddock fillets to make this cauliflower kedgeree, which help to keep costs low!
