this recipe from one Julius Roberts is elementally easy and excellent: 1.5 litres of quality chicken broth
4 cooking chorizo, my favourite are the Brindisa ones.
3 large leeks
10-15 new potatoes
Bunch of parsley or cilantro
Chop up the leek, potato and chorizo into rough bite size pieces, chuck into a large pot, cover with the chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Season well with a proper handful of salt and cook until the vegetables are tender but not falling alert. Whack in a big handful of chopped parsley. Taste again and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
One of my fav one-pot soups. Easy to add more veggies rotting in your fridge lol.
Render down some firm Spanish chorizo and plenty of loosely chopped leeks in a big ole pot with olive oil. Add bite-sized chunks of yellow potatoes and shredded green cabbage. Just cover contents with chicken stock (I use low-sodium better than bullion) and bring to a boil, then simmer with the lid on for 10 mins or until potatoes are fork-tender. Salt to taste, then serve. Best enjoyed with your roommate, a joint, and lots of crusty bread with butter.
might be a little simple but always hits. 2/3x leeks
5/6 medium potatoes (chopped into bite size pieces)
1x onion
1x garlic
500ml stock of your choice
30ml sour cream/creme fraiche 1. chop your onion, garlic, potatoes and leeks and put into a pan. let that gently fry for 5-6 mins.
2. season with chilli flakes, pepper and a little salt.
3. pour in your stock and turn up heat to boil.
4. leave to simmer for 20 mins.
5. take off the heat, stir in your sour cream or crème fraiche, and season to ur taste. a song for this i’m feeling something a little joni mitchell vibe as this is soooo warm & cosy. maybe joni mitchell - help me
This is my current favourite tasty stew, Halloumi works surprisingly well and hot olives slap, plus they're both salty. Ingredients:
Half a jar Kalamata Olives
2 Tins finely chopped tomatoes (try and get the nice stuff)
2 Blocks haloumi
2 Aubergines
1 Tin of Cannellini Beans (optional)
1 Onion
2 Cloves of garlic
2 Tbsp Harissa paste
Whatever herbs you have to hand that you think will work
Stock cube
Olive oil Method
1. Cube the haloumi and brown in pot with oil then set aside and do the same with the aubergine.
2. Dice the onions and fry them off in the oil, when they start to turn translucent add the minced garlic.
3. Once the garlic is done cooking dump in all the other ingredients and then add water until it's kind of gloppy(but not sloppy)
4. Cover and cook for 30 mins.
5. Serve with brown rice and nice olive oil for health. Thanks for reading my recipe, leave a comment if you try it x
Posting doesn’t necessarily reflect delusions of grandeur about one’s influence. it’s a simple, communicative act. give yourself some credit, trust social instincts. If people had phones at any time in human history- they’d be using them.
Ranking things out of three (no half stars, 0 permissible) is a valuable exercise. The limitations force one to reckon with the boundaries of language and the necessity of a respect for nuance. One out of three could be pretty bad..on the other hand, it's still pretty good.
