Spring Soup

Spring Soup recipe - eat well on universal credit


When we made the Slow roast Pork Shank on Thursday we had about a pint of Stock and vegetable left over. Sue usually keeps any stock we have left over anyway, but this just had Soup written all over it. So with the addition of a few herbs from the  Edible York planters ( http://www.edibleyork.org.uk ) we’ve just had a pretty tasty soup for a grand total of not a bean!

Ingredients for the previous Stock:-

1 Carrot
1 Onion
1 Potato
1 Bay leaf
A sprig of fresh Fennel Tops
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 tbsp Coriander seeds
4 cloves of Garlic
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Additional herbs:-

A handful of mixed fresh herbs:-

Fennel Tops
Chives
Lovage
Parsley

Method:-

(1) Add the Stock and herbs to a blender and blitz.
(2) In a saucepan heat to a rolling simmer.
(3) add a little fresh ground Black Pepper to top to and a sprig of Parsley.

Enjoy – We did…..

Mushroom Bhaji recipe

The Gram flour based Bhaji batter is a bit of a favourite here. We’re tried all sorts of odd combinations but Mushroom Bhajis had until now slipped under the radar. Omission corrected…

Ingredients:-

6 Mushrooms sliced
Home made Garlic Butter
100g Gram flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp Chilli powder
1 tsp ground Cloves
Chopped Chillies
½ tsp Turmeric
Salt
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Melt the Garlic Butter (Margarine in our case) and stir with the sliced Mushrooms to coat.
(2) Mix the remaining ingredients with water to make a fairly stiff batter.
(3) mix the Mushrooms into the batter and make sure they are all evenly coated.
(4) Spoon into hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown.

They make a tasty side or are also good cold as a snack.
