Good morning all, well it's been a few days since I have last written and it's been quite a fun filled fully loaded type of a week. We are now into a new week and with winter coming our way and not least Halloween to kick start it all off I have 2 wonderful delicious recipes for you to try at home.
The important thing to remember is that we want to eat as much foods as possible that are in the 'easily digestible' category and both of these are because the ingredients are well thought out.
Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
3 cups of pumpkin chopped into chunks and boiled in 2 pints of water with
1 medium sized potato chopped into chunks
2 stalks of celery including it's leaves finely chopped
1 medium carrot chopped
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil all the above ingredients and once all vegetables are tender, blend with a mixer.
You can serve this with some yoghurt and finely chopped coriander and with some warm toasted rye bread.
Mushroom Curry
Ingredients for 4 servings:
200g of mushroom, finely chopped
1 medium potato
1/2 can of chopped tomato
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of yellow split lentils (cooked in water and add once completely cooked and tender/almost mushy)
1/2 cup of finely chopped coriander
2 tsps of curry powder home blend (Turmeric, Red chillies, Cumin, Coriander, Asafoetida, Amchur, Salt, Fenugreek, Nutmeg)
1/4 cup coconut cream
To start, in a sauce pan (non stick), add 2 tbsp of olive oil and then add the potatoes. Start frying and then turn the heat down, cover so they cook (for about 10 minutes). Then add the mushrooms and tomatoes and turn heat up a little and let all the ingredients start to fry and cook (heat not on too high). Add the curry powder and mix well. Once all the vegetables are cooked add the lentils, spinach, coriander and mix well. Once the curry is cooked, add the coconut cream at the end.
Serve with some cooked brown basmati rice or warm plain naan bread. You can also serve with yoghurt. For vegetarians it's always nice to add some extra protein so, as you can see from my picture, I have added some toasted cashew nuts for that added flavour and crunch.
Enjoy. Have a wonderful Tuesday and til soon........Warmest of wishes ;0)
