Jacks Chardonnay And Red Lentil Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Soak lentils in a bowl with water to cover for 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil and bouillon in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and curry powder into onion mixture. Cook and stir until onion is tender and browned, adding a few spoonfuls of vegetable broth if needed to prevent burning, about 10 minutes more.
• Drain lentils and stir into onion mixture with remaining broth; bring soup to a boil. Cover stockpot, reduce heat, and simmer until lentils are soft, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Trim chard leaves, stack together, and cut into 3/4-inch strips. Stir chard into soup and cook until softened, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Put the onion, garlic, carrot and ginger into a saucepan, drizzle over the oil, and cook for a few mins to soften. Add the turmeric, cardamom and cumin. Stir well to combine, and cook gently for a few mins more, until the spices are aromatic.
• Add the lentils to the pan. Pour over the coconut milk, fill the can with water and add this too. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 mins until the lentils are soft and swollen but retain a little bite. Using a hand blender, pulse the soup until some is blended completely, leaving some larger vegetable chunks.
• Zest the lemon straight into the pan, then squeeze the juice over the soup and stir through with a pinch of salt, chilli and finely chopped herbs. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle over a little more lemon zest, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cover sweet potatoes with water and boil until tender. They are ready when a fork pierces the potato easily. Should take 20-30 minutes depending on size. Pour off hot water. Rinse with cold water until potatoes cool.
• Peal off potato skin with a fork. Discard the.
• Mix cooked sweet potatoes, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, salt, milk and butter until combined. Taste the mixture and add more of each ingredient until it is to your liking. The mixture should be thick.
• Unroll pie crust. Add half of the mixture on half of the crust. Leave space on the edges for crimping. Fold the other half of the crust over and crimp the edges. Cut a couple of small slits in the crust. Repeat with the second crust. The final product should look like a calzone.
• Optional: These jacks can also be shaped into individual pastries. Use a large circular or square cookie cuter to make smaller jacks.
• Bake the jacks on a cookie sheet for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• Let the jacks cool. Cut each jack into 4-6 slices. Serve alone or with a scoop of ice cream.
