Official Coronation Quiche - UPF

RidersOnTheCalm · 02/05/2023 17:34

Just had a look on royal.co.uk - I'm a bit peeved that the recipe for quiche uses '1 or 2 block of ready-made shortcrust pastry'.
Not only is this dearer thank making it yourself, I'm pretty sure its a UPF. Certainly not clean eating - there was me hoping to make a wholemeal version, as I much prefer wholemeal flour and its obv healthier too.
I slightly despair - on this momentous occasion, can't we just be encouraged to do it properly. Its not that hard!!!

In fact I just followed that link to the Royal website and at the end of the recipe there it says: "BBC Good Food shares suitable substitutes for ingredients in the Coronation Quiche for those with dietary”

It does not!

That is really weird. The first time I followed the
https://www.royal.uk/the-coronation-quiche link that Welshwabbit gave above, I swear there was that text at the end of the recipe pointing to the BBC Good Food. I actually copied the text from there. However, I have just been back to check and no mention now.

Oh well. If you search for Coronation Quiche I still think the BBC Good Food is the first one to come up. Was for me anyway.

NomiMacaroni · 03/05/2023 18:06

Are you not capable of searching up a wholemeal recipe for yourself? How pathetic.

Literally nobody wants to actually eat a bean and spinach quiche. Pretty sure Charlie and Milbags are just trolling us 😂😂😂 ‘Let’s see how far we can push the plebs!’

It is exactly the same recipe though. In fact I just followed that link to the Royal website and at the end of the recipe there it says:

"BBC Good Food share suitable substitutes for ingredients in the Coronation Quiche for those with dietary requirements."

And if you follow the link it takes you to the BBC Good Food page.

As it happens I used the BBC Good Food page because it did come up as the top link and I use loads of recipes on there.

Well, no, it’s not exactly the same.

The official Royal recipe does not mention a substitute for lard, the BBC one does.

CoffeeWithCheese · 03/05/2023 13:43

Spinach and broad beans?

Fuck that - I'll stick with dear Lorraine. She's never failed me in terms of quiche.

Everyone else is referring to the official recipe posted on the Royal website though, the link to which was posted at the beginning of the thread.

It’s not rocket science but it may put off vegetarians / non Pork eaters.

Coronation quiche recipe | BBC Good Food

Make the official recipe of the Coronation celebrations. This deep quiche has a crisp pastry case and delicate spinach, broad beans and tarragon filling.

What is a UPF?

A way of getting attention for a fairly pointless post!

HadalyEve · 03/05/2023 09:31

Something else worth mentioning is that Coronation quiche already existed. A Coronation quiche is a quiche made with curry spice, a quiche version of Coronation chicken. So the chef has also borrowed the name of a quiche that already exists but is completely different. Which if intentional, to go along with my trolling passing thought, the chef would know would cause mass confusion and upset as people tried to buy their Coronation quiche and instead would be eating an unexpectedly curry flavoured quiche. 🤣

@mainsfed

I googled Coronation Quiche.

First link that came up was BBC Good Food so pretty reliable.

I copied and pasted from there.

I didn't check every single result, but it's not exactly rocket science to substitute the lard if you are vegetarian.

It's fine OP I have a clean eating version here:

Ingredients:
Pastry:

  • 125g wholemeal spelt flour
  • Pinch of disdain
  • 25g cold butter, thrown away
  • 25g {we do not speak of this}
  • 2 tablespoons milk / mylk / mxlk
  • Or 1 x 250g block of ready-made shortcrust pastry, penance available on instagram later

Filling:

  • 125ml milk
  • 175ml double cream
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon,
  • Salt and pepper
  • 100g grated cheddar cheese,
  • 180g cooked spinach, lightly chopped
  • 60g cooked broad beans or soya beans

Method:
Line the quiche tin with a single look of horror from beneath a raised eyebrow. Combine all pastry ingredients in the bin.

Heat the oven with a single scorching word.

For the filling, combine the milk, cream and eggs, and add them to the pastry ingredients in the bin before carefully folding in the cheese.

Finely chop the tarragon. Combine with the cooked spinach.
Arrange the spinach / tarragon mixture on a plate, and top with the broad beans. Garnish with judgement.

😆

You absolute rebel!

Changing a recipe to fit with what you have available.

The Beefeaters will be along shortly to march you off to the tower😅

YABU
On Monday I used a bbc good food recipe for chocolate chip cookies.
The recipe used butter (I used butter and margarine as I didn't have enough butter)
The recipe used dark chocolate chips (I used a different quantity of milk and white chocolate)

And no one from BBC good food knew or cared

did you change to that today?

Yesterday :)

5foot5 · 03/05/2023 09:41

I only needed to buy the cream.

And the fresh tarragon.

It takes no time at all to make pastry, it's dead easy.

Show quote history

I agree. Making the shortcut pastry is dead easy. I can knock that up in a few minutes. The whole chilling and baking blind adds a bit more elapsed time.

I made the Coronation Quiche yesterday and by the time I had chilled it for 30 minutes, then rolled it out and put it in the tin and chilled for 30 more minutes, then baked it blind for 25 minutes quite a bit of time had passed. Still I was able to get on with other things in between.

Anyway the quiche is now made and actually looks and smells quite nice. I have put it in the freezer until the weekend.

It actually works out quite cheap for me as I had nearly all the ingredients in anyway. I have spinach and broad beans in the freezer. I only needed to buy the cream.

Oh dear… we obviously wish for different things, I Gad not checked the Coronation quiche recipe as I was hoping Iceland would sell it it in preparation of the event! 🤣

It's unbelievable really. The amount of shite we suck up in the name of a 'celebration'.

A new quiche recipe 'for the king'? 🙄

It's hard to believe it's anything but a joke tbh.

Coronation chicken was invented for the late Queen’s coronation. People still eat it.

HadalyEve · 03/05/2023 09:27

This is wrong too

  • 125ml milk
  • 175ml double cream
  • 2 medium eggs

TWO EGGS for a 20cm quiche?! Utter madness.

I have to admit that it crossed my mind the chef was a Republican and the recipe is a masterpiece in trolling.

I know. I refrained from commenting on the filling and herbs, but it’s disastrous really. Tarragon is good in quiche & other egg dishes but not with spinach. I wouldn’t ever put any kind of beans in a quiche anyway.
