  1. Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside once cooked.
  2. In a large frying pan or skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

  5. Add the flaked smoked kippers to the pan and gently stir to combine with the spices. Let it cook for a few minutes until the fish is heated through.
  6. Next, add the cooked rice to the pan and mix everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the spices and fish.
  7. Stir in the frozen peas and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated.
