Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Yesterday I made this delicious meal for lunch - Smoked Kippers, Poached Eggs with Bubble and Squeak.
Smoked kippers are something which I remember my grandmother giving us to eat. They are such a different fish to the usual smoked salmon and really easy to get hold of in supermarkets.
Poached eggs are also really easy to make. For ages, I put off cooking them because I was daunted as to how hard they sounded. Cracking eggs into boiling water? But, honestly, it was so easy, really tasty and very healthy of course.
And, finally, Bubble and Squeak which is a traditional English dish usually made with leftover vegetables. The pan really did bubble and squeak when cooking!
I'm really glad I made this recipe - it opened my eyes to lots of new flavours and ideas and I hope you guys give it a go too, inshallah. It's a good option for brunch or dinner.
Ingredients needed: Rapeseed Oil, Spring Onions, White Cabbage, Potatoes, Fresh Chives, Salt, Pepper, Eggs and Smoked Kippers.
Bismillah, let's begin!
