A taste of Anglo India Mulligatawny Soup ! One for you Daniella!

  Mulligatawny Soup 4 servings

As a child growing up in the UK brown Windsor and Mulligatawny soup were very much part of my culinary experiences. This morning I woke up craving Mulligatawny soup . I am not sure why, as I haven’t had any for at least 25 years !
But this spice scented soup is simple to make and you adapt it to be vegetarian or vegan.
I made mine with a chicken stock today because I had some in the freezer.
 The smell when cooking gently wafted me back the earliest memories of my  culinary adventures  in my  childhood .
You need.
1/2 table spoon coconut oil
2 onions finely chopped
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
1/2 inch ginger peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon each of Good quality dried  curry powder, cumin, and coriander
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt and  fresh ground black pepper

2 carrots peeled and chopped
1 zucchini peeled and chopped
1 liter good stock
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 cups coconut or almond milk.
1/2 cup freshly chopped corridor.
1 cup split red lentils  rinsed

Heat the oil in the pan, add the onion garlic & ginger stir and add the spices to cook off stirring.  Then add the vegetables, lentils  and stir in the flavors. Add half the coriander
Add the stock, lemon juice  and water to cover the lentils and vegetables.
Cook for 30 minutes, then blend when cool, add the coconut milk, taste & adjust the seasoning  and slowly reheat stirring.  Sprinkle the remaining coriander on top and serve.

Not Schmaltz At All ( healthy chopped liver)

Chopped liver often mocked, reproduced and joked about, as traditionally Jewish as chicken soup.  Chopped liver can be made with any type pf liver but personally I prefer the traditional  favorite of chicken livers. Chopped liver was traditionally fried in schmaltz (chicken fat ) which over the years has given way to oil, my no fry no oil version tastes just as good but weight watchers can eat with guilt. Nutritional Value Liver is a nutrient-rich food and the ingredients in the chopped liver recipe add more nutrients to the mix. Liver is high in vitamin A, which is dangerous to unborn babies so pregnant mothers should avoid liver in any form.It also contains  vitamin C  choline,  betaine, of vitamin B-12,  retinal and vitamin E  also  of vitamins B-6, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and thiamin in lesser amounts It also contains the following minerals  Its high in i ron, magne...

In Israel the smell of barbecues abounds from  people's gardens, in the countryside or on the beach. The traffic gets quite congested as people are moving around to visit family and friends and go for hikes or relax by the sea I always got into the habit with my friend Hannah, of getting up really early and going wherever we wanted to go with her children, before we spent the day in a traffic jam! If we were going to the beach, we would arrived there at 5:00 AM and have breakfast an early swim and return against the traffic by lunchtime to barbecue On her patio! We would do the same if we were going for a walk in the countryside or whatever activities we had chosen to mark the day. Here in the UK, there is no guarantee that we will have good enough weather for a BBQ therefore I've decided to give you some recipes for homemade ...
