Cape Malay Fish Biryani

Features:
    Cuisine:

    We made this for dinner last night using hake. We used the optional hard boiled eggs, which I really enjoyed and would not skip, and the oven method for cooking. We actually preferred the flavor of the dish today when we had leftovers and I enjoyed mine drizzled with olive oil. While this recipe has a long list of ingredients, there is little chopping and prep and it is quite easy to make. We added a generous amount of salt and pepper to our individual servings.
