Karríplokkfiskur með eggjum og hrísgrjónum

Curry mashed fish with eggs and rice


Somehow you find curry in a lot of Icelandic dishes, just like in other Scandinavian countries, and curry has long become a very popular ingredient, especially in fish and meat dishes with a side of rice.

You can also find a number of curry dishes here in the blog, including lamb curry or curry fish casserole . I found a recipe for " egg í karrí ", i.e. "eggs in curry", which I found in an old cookbook from the 1940s particularly exciting - to be served "warm as a dessert for lunch".


Ingredients

400 g cooked haddock

240 g rice
2 hard-boiled eggs
2 tsp curry powder
50 g margarine


Preparation

Cook the rice in salted water.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan and carefully fry the curry powder in it.


Then add the cooked fish to the pan and stir.


Drain the water from the rice and add the rice with a small amount of water to the pan with the fish.


Peel the eggs and cut them into small pieces.


Add the egg pieces over the fish-rice mixture, stir...

...and season to taste; For example, I added some dill.


Then serve the dish straight away.


As a side dish there is traditional Icelandic rye bread with fresh butter, but we had cucumber salad with it.
