King Charles andQueen Consort Camilla have personally chosen a “Coronation Quiche” recipe that includes an ingredient loved by A-list celebs – edamame beans.
TheRoyal Family’s official Twitter account has shared the recipe for the open baked savoury tart that can be made for the Big Lunches set to be held to mark the King and Queen Consort's crowning.
It features cheddar cheese, spinach, tarragon and either broad or soya beans – also known as edamame.
Edamame beans, also known as soya beans, have become hugely popular with Hollywood stars and A-list celebs such asVictoria Beckham – with the healthy, protein-packed ingredient helping them to stay full whilekeeping in shape.
For the lateQueen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, Coronation Chicken – cold chicken in a curry cream sauce with a well-seasoned dressed salad of rice, green peas and mixed herbs – was invented to feed the foreign guests who were entertained at Buckingham Palace after the ceremony.
The new quiche recipe is by royal head chef Mark Flanagan and was chosen by Charles and Camilla in collaboration with him.
Former Buckingham Palace chef Darren McGrady said the King’s choice came as no surprise because Charles loves anything with eggs and cheese.
Mr McGrady, who worked for the late Queen for 15 years, said he had made quiche for Charles many times.
“It’s no surprise that the King Charles III has shared Coronation quiche to celebrate his Coronation,” he tweeted.
“His mother, The Queen loved chocolate, but The King loves anything with eggs and cheese.
“Made this for him many times… especially with salmon he’d caught in the river Dee.”
Buckingham Palace said the quiche was chosen because it worked as a sharing dish, can be served hot or cold, suits a wide variety of dietary requirements and can be easily adapted to suit different tastes.
The Palace also said it tasted delicious and had the benefit of not being too complicated and not requiring costly or hard-to-source ingredients.
A Palace chef, dressed in a white uniform, embroidered with the late Queen’s EIIR cypher, and a chef’s hat, was shown making the quiche in a video posted on social media.
The royal family’s website described it as “a deep quiche with a crisp, light pastry case and delicate flavours of spinach, broad beans and fresh tarragon.
“Eat hot or cold with a green salad and boiled new potatoes – perfect for a Coronation Big Lunch!”
Quiche is known as a classic French dish, but is said to have actually originated in Germany in the Middle Ages with the word quiche from the German kuchen, meaning cake.
The Coronation Big Lunch aims to brings neighbours and communities together to celebrate the May 6 coronation.Camilla has been patron of the Big Lunch initiative since 2013.
