Well this is a little later than planed. I was ill on Sunday but there it is in all its anti-glory. It actually tastes a lot better than it looks.
What is in it? I hear you ask?
No.
Well just in case your interested.
400g Onions
400g Carrots
Nub of Ginger
Tin of Chick peas
Tin of Tomatoes
1 Tbsp Spicy Power
Water
Stock cube.
As this is a slow cooked meal it is very easy to make.
1) Peal and finely chop the onions,
2) Peal and chop the carrots,
.normally I chop carrots into rings and then into quarters,
3) Peal the ginger and then cut thinly,
4) Open the tin of Chick Peas,
5) Open the tin of tomartoes,
6) Put the onions,carrots, ginger, chick peas and tomatoes in the slow cooker,
7) Pour water over the meal (this depends on the size of the slow cooker - for mine this makes enough for five.) and add the spices (whatever you like)
8) Add stock cube - no need to crumble it. - (you can throw some frozen veg in at this stage if you like)
9) Add the lid - cook for seven hours - and blend.
Blending is not absolutely necessary. This was quite a nice soup.
Slow cooking is very simple and effective. Almost any ingredients will work and you can just throw them in. I'd recommend at least five hours. This can even work for meat. Though I'd say that beef could do with closer to nine hours. Poultry is fine after five hours.
Happy Cooking.
