Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the onion and pepper for 5-8 mins until soft and beginning to brown. Tip in the rice, frozen peas, curry powder and 200ml water, stir well, then simmer gently for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Bring a small pan of water to the boil and, when the rice is almost ready, poach the egg (see p50 for some great tips on poaching eggs). Serve the egg on top of the spicy rice.

This was ok but a bit flavourless, however for a quick and simple meal you can't go wrong! If I make it again I would definitely add mackeral as suggested. I did do the poached egg but don't think it's 100% necessary.
