@Kat100 coincidentally I've just popped in the oven an aubergine variation ... fry chopped onion, garlic & a bay leaf with cumin seeds, cinnamon & chilli flakes. Add (lamb or beef) mince and the flesh of an aubergine and chopped courgette, stir a bit, add chopped tomatoes, bit of soy sauce (opt) or cider vinegar, cover & simmer 20 mins. Uncover & reduce to thicken. Fill aubergine shells & bake 30 mins. Top with your choice of cheese & bake a bit more. I'm steaming some broccoli & leek to go with it. The aubergine flesh has disappeared with all that cooking!
NB isn't yours a sort of tagine without the fruit? I luuuuurve tagine, fruitless though it has to be.
I love soups and i will definitely be making this one. Thanks for sharing DamePeggyMade some delicious Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup tonight...
To make enough for about four good portions:
Sweat 1 large/2 small chopped onions with a clove or two of garlic according to your taste in a little virgin olive oil.
Add 3 or 4 chopped carrots, a chopped stick of celery, a diced sweet potato, a good teaspoon of vegetable bouillon powder [or veg stock cube] along with some ground black pepper and a pinch of chilli powder. If my partner isn't watching, I also add a handful of red lentils!
Add about a pint-and-a-half of water, bring to the boil and then simmer for around an hour until everything is cooked through.
Blitz to preferred consistency, adding a little more water if too thick - serve with a swirl of cream or a little grated cheese.
Enjoy!
Should have blitzed as few tomatoes into it, Or a glug of cream. Both help to reduce the burn. Third option is sugar. But as we are all diabetics that's not really one to do.I made a butternut squash soup last week and put half a teaspoon of crushed chillies in for a bit of heat, over did it as it was too warm for my liking
