  • Curried,Coconut,Roasted Cauliflower Soup

    Total Time: 55 minutes

    Ingredients

    1 large head of cauliflower, broken into small florets, stems chopped

    * drizzle of olive oil over cauliflower.

    * 1 medium onion, diced

    * 2 to 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste* (depending on preferred spice level, I love spicy so I’d use 3!)

    * ½ teaspoon lemon zest

    * ½ cup unoaked white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)**

    * 1 ½ cups vegetable broth or stock

    * 1 can light coconut milk

    * ½ teaspoon sugar

    * 1tsp of rice vinegar (optional)

    * Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    * ¼ cup chopped spring onions or chives

    * 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

    * Thinly sliced jalapeño, (optional)

    Directions

    1.Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Toss the cauliflower with enough oil to lightly coat it. add a little salt and pepper, Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast until the tips of the cauliflower are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.

    2. In a pot over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and a dash of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is turning translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the curry paste and lemon zest and stir to incorporate. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the wine, and cook, stirring frequently, until most of the wine has evaporated

    3. Add all of the roasted cauliflower stems and half of the florets to the pot. Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Continue simmering for 5 to 10 more minutes to meld the flavors, reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove the pot from the heat.

    4. Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then carefully use a blender to blend until smooth. (Or transfer the soup in small batches to a blender, blending until each batch is smooth. Don’t ever fill your blender past the maximum fill line, and beware of the steam escaping from the lid.)

    5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar and salt and pepper, to taste. If the soup needs more acidity, stir in 1 to 2 additional teaspoons of vinegar, to taste. Ladle the soup into 4 bowls. Top each with ¼ of the cauliflower florets, a sprinkle of basil and chives and hot peppers (if using).

    2.whisk the egg in a separate bowl and pour into the chicken, toss well to coat thoroughly and drain off the excess.

    3.Gradually sprinkle in the starch tossing as you do, until the chicken is well coated.

    4.Add to the actifry, or oven tray spray over the top with spray oil and set for 30 mins, until it is lovely and golden in colour (it may take slightly less or longer).

    For the vegetables:

    1.Spray a frying pan or wok over a medium high heat with spray oil.

    2.Add the onion and garlic and fry for 1 minute to soften.

    2.When the chicken is done, sprinkle with some of the salt and pepper mix and turn back on the actifry, or back into the oven,  keep doing this with the salt and pepper mix, until it is seasoned to your liking.

    2. Sprinkle with chopped spring onion
