In the July 2010 issue of Burke’s Backyard magazine, on sale Monday, June 28, Tracy Rutherford has created a great collection of ‘Winter Warmer’ recipes, including beautiful Beef Goulash Pies with Cauliflower Mash. For Don’s 2UE listeners, we have a bonus Tracy Rutherford recipe for you to enjoy, another great winter warmer: Spicy Potato and Cauliflower Soup.
Tracy Rutherford’s Spicy Potato and Cauliflower Soup
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1kg Sebago potatoes, peeled and chopped
300g cauliflower, cut into florets
4 cups (1litre) vegetable or chicken stock
4 naan bread
40g butter
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until soft and lightly golden. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
2. Add potato, cauliflower and stock. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan. Cover and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Cool the soup slightly, then puree in a food processor, in batches, until smooth. Return to the pan and reheat to serve.
4. Wrap the naan bread in foil and heat in a preheated 180°C oven for 10 minutes. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the cumin and cook for a few seconds. Brush the butter over the warm naan bread and serve immediately.
