- 1 Romanesco cut in florets
- 1 white onion chopped
- 1 regular size potato peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1200 ml (5 cups) home made vegetable stock
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mace or nutmeg
- 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- handful of toasted seeds or walnuts
- 2 Tablespoon cashew sour cream optional
- 4 slices of rustic bread
- sea salt
- pepper
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F
Take about 10 nice florets apart and rub them in olive oil and course sea salt.
Roast the florets in the oven approx. 20 - 25 minutes.
Meanwhile saute the onion with a pinch of salt in a heavy based pot, after 5 minutes add the garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes.
Add the romanesco florets and the diced potato and stir for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
Leave it to simmer until the romanesco and potato is cooked. Leave to cool down a bit.
Once cool enough, blend your soup, and re-heat again.
Add the mace, and season to taste.
When your roasted florets are nicely browned, take them out of the oven and add the lemon juice.
Serve your soup with a few roasted florets on top, and a handful of toasted seeds or walnuts.
Spread some cashew sour cream on a rustic slice of bread and serve along side the soup (optional)
