KIRREats: Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Coconut Soup by @SincerelyAline
Now that the weather is dipping slightly in Hong Kong, there’s nothing better than cosying up to a big bowl of warm soup. This flavourful, chunky soup is made with a lightly spiced roasted cauliflower head and cooked with red lentils and coconut milk.
It’s just the right amount of filling, completely satiating, but not too heavy, and so nourishing. Make a big batch and enjoy it over a few days, or freeze any leftovers in airtight containers.
Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Roast the cauliflower for 35-40 mins with some salt, the cumin, and a drizzle of olive oil
When it’s ready take out, leave to one side
In a large pot heat the oil and fry the onion and ginger with a little salt, the fenugreek, mustard seeds, chili. Then add the garlic. Cook until the onions have softened completely
Stir in the lentils, stir for a minute. Add the water. Simmer for a few minutes then add the cauliflower. Add the coconut milk then bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, simmer for around 30 minutes with the lid on. Stirring occasionally. Stir in the coriander. Then serve!
