Plant-based kedgeree

Kedgeree has always been a favourite dish of mine, but i've never really thought about veganising it because well, it’s fish & eggs!

But I was inspired by a recipe I found in Katy Beskow's book Easy Vegan Bible that used artichokes, so i played around a bit and am delighted with the results! 

Whether you're a kedgeree lover or not, i think you're going to like this recipe!
