Yumi and Simon nut out the big questions on today's episode.
What IS the difference between a garnish and something bigger, like a handful of croutons?
Yumi will also talk you through a FANTASTIC cauliflower soup recipe which is easy (tick), delicious (tick), you could probably do tonight (tick!) and it is topped by the most unbelievably enjoyable garnish. (That is actually NOT a garnish.) Wait with baited breath to see if Simon can somehow incorporate his favourite ingredient into today's episode!
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole cauliflower (about 1.6kg), trimmed and cut into chunky florets
2 tins white beans, drained and rinsed
1 litre of chicken or veg stock
3 tbs sakè or dry white wine
2 tbs mirin
2 tbs smoked salt flakes (just use whatever you have)
2 tbs sprigs of fresh thyme
TO SERVE:
1 tub sour cream
juicy lemons
TOPPING
Plain potato chips
Fresh chives
METHOD
Combine everything in the INGREDIENTS list in your slow cooker, turn on 'LOW' and leave for 8 hours.
Blend everything until smooth.
Before serving, stir through the sour cream and lemon juice.
Top each individual bowl with crushed potato chips and a few snips of chives
