Hearty Soup for the Soul

September 21st 2009 00:30
spacer

I am so over this weather. I was blown down by the flu two weeks ago and am now still nursing a terrible cold. Im into my fourth week of *sickness*yes, thats a month! I want Summer now, mama Nature


Whining aside
I had to get somewhat healthy enough so that I could get back to the grind. That was when I started dreaming of all kinds of soup. I made chicken vegetable soup, rice soupand then my all time favourite, Beef Barley Vegetable Soup!

What you need:
500g of lean dice/cube beef
1/2 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup of red lentils or regular lentils
1/4 cup of mixed beans
2 carrots
2 tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic
A small knob of ginger optional. It has properties good for alleviating the flu/cold; more on this later
1.5 litre of vegetable stock
2 tablespoons of Worchestershire sauce
olive oil
oregano
thyme
pepper/chilli flakes

What to do:
1Soak barley, lentils and beans in separate bowls overnight.

2The next day, rinse 2-3 times then boil the beans (only) briskly in fresh water for at least 10 minutes.

3Marinate meat with the Worchestershire sauce, herbs and pepper/chilli flakes. Set aside.


4Dice the vegetables, and lightly bruise the garlic. Julienne some of the ginger and slice the rest, then likely bruise the slices.

5Heat some oil in a pot and saut the garlic and ginger until fragrant it smells divine! Add lentils, barley and beans, and the vegetable stock. Add more herbs and pepper/chilli flakes if you like. Bring to a boil then lower to medium heat.

6Allow to cook till the legumes and barley are cooked it should take about an hour. Then add the meat and allow to slowly simmer for about another hour.

7Salt to taste and serve =)

Serves 6-8 great for freezing too.

A Delicious Braised Dish (edits)

August 24th 2009 02:28
spacer


As I prepared this dish, the five-spice powder and star anise triggered my senses and reminded me how delightfully delicious this dish is. The slow braising method of this dish will emit an aroma that will envelop your kitchen for hours till the dish is finally done. Youll wish that it was ready sooner than the *prescribed* cooking time

Whats underneath that crown?

July 24th 2009 23:18

Puff pastry crowns are typically made over bowls of soup. Golden brown and glistening, it entices you to dig through that pastry to get to the soup. I suppose it makes having a bowl of soup more exciting and more interesting. Its also probably an alternative to serving bread with the soup, as you can just break up the pastry into the soup.

Crispy Chinese Pork

July 9th 2009 22:00

Having lived in Asia, Ive been (blessedly) exposed to a variety of very good Asian food. The barbecue/roast meat dishes are among some of the food that I remember not only for its very graphic display in restaurant-deli windows but also the aromas of the spices used in the roasting
