Ingredients

15 total
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander
  • 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 medium eggs, lightly beaten
  • 100g plain flour
  • 75g feta, crumbled
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g blanched almonds
  • 230g roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 1½ tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 shallot, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, deseeded and sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small handful of dill, fronds picked and roughly chopped

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine 450g leftover kedgeree (see intro for link to recipe), most of the coriander and parsley, the eggs, flour and feta.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 20cm skillet over a low-medium heat. Add the kedgeree mixture, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon to reach the edges of the pan. Fry gently for 15-20 mins, or until crisp and almost set.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, to make the romesco sauce, put the remaining 3 tbsp of oil in a food processor with the almonds, red peppers, garlic, ½ tbsp of the vinegar and the smoked paprika and blitz until smooth but textured; season.

  4. Step 4

    For the salad, toss the shallot, sugar, remaining 1 tbsp vinegar, cucumber and dill in a bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Preheat the grill to high. Pop the skillet under the grill for 2 mins or until the top is crisp and golden.

  6. Step 6

    Bring the cake to the table in the skillet or invert onto a serving plate and scatter with the remaining coriander and parsley. Serve in thick slices with a dollop of romesco and the cucumber salad on the side. Leftovers will keep in a chilled, airtight container for up to 2 days.
