Most Americans won't be invited to King Charles III's coronation. Luckily, the British Royal Family has announced its official coronation dish and given recipes so viewers at home may add royal flare to their celebrations.
On May 6, King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in London and paraded to Buckingham Palace. The weekend will be filled with activities, including the coronation ceremony and parade.
The Coronation Big Lunch is on May 7. Eden Project Communities' Big Lunch promotes community mealtimes. Since 2013, the queen consort has supported the Big Lunch, which is part of the coronation festivities.
Coronation Quiche is the royal dish. Their "crisp, light pastry case" French tart has a savory custard with lettuce, broad beans, cheddar cheese, and tarragon.
Quiche was chosen because it's shared, adaptable, cheap, and easy to cook. King Charles' Coronation Quiche differs from his mother's.
In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II, who died at 96 in September 2022, chose Coronation Chicken. The creamy curry chicken meal was created for the longstanding ruler.
The Royal Family has shared their Coronation Quiche recipe with the world. Americans must adjust metric measures to follow the recipe.
Need visuals? The Royal Family has recently issued a quiche-making video for novice bakers. The recipe recommends serving the quiche hot or cold with a green salad and cooked young potatoes.
If quiche doesn't appeal, try something else. Choose from the other official coronation recipes: aubergine, roast rack of lamb in an Asian-style the marinade, prawn tacos with mango salsa, and a strawberry and ginger trifle.
