You and I

I have a huge back log of food adventures that are begging to be posted so let's get started!

Coconut Red Lentil Soup
This lovely recipe is from 101 Cookbooks, and it was definitely everything that it claimed to be. On the first evening it had the consistency of a nice, thick soup so I had it with some toast and coconut butter.


Lunch! brown rice, The Soup, bok choy and red onion
After a night in the fridge, and each day after that it had the consistency of a curry. It was super addictive. I would say the best part of this soup was how the golden raisins would become delicously plump, giving each spoonful a note of sweetness. They curry powder was very subtle in flavour, and I'm considering doubling the amount next time.

I was also surprised at how this recipe used only green onions instead of a regular old white one. Beware that the amount listed actually uses half in the soup and the other half for the garnish. I made the mistake of cutting everything up at the same time and ended up with a massive pile of garnish. Essentially everything I ate that week was toppped with green onion.

If you have two hours to spare to make a tasty dinner and lunch for the rest of the week, reach for this recipe!
