i had a bunch of pre-chopped veg in my fridge that was about to turn so i needed to either use it, or wash it and try to reseal it. Using it seemed easier. i par boiled the veg, and mixed up some puree, madras herbs, kashmiri chilli, veg stock, soy sauce, worcs, and pan roasted the sauce to reduce while the veg gets upto, speed. i used my mixer to smash up the veg a bit. I strained off the water to use to cook the brown wholegrain brown basmati .

mix in the sauce in stages.

do dishes as you goand as ben marriott would say: we always label our layers.

it rested in the oven over night. and has had a few hours cook this afternoon. a Last stir just now then final few hours of cook time. I'll turn off heat before I sleep. Then portion into containers in the morning.

after steaming the veg, a light spin in the food processor th break down the larger parts was a good idea (i keep forgetting to do this in advance)

i want to use minimal fat, but toast/dry/panroast/sautee the veg to get some Maillard flavouring for the soup

as pr previous, but more advanced Maillard effect is visible

slices of roasted chicken breast added to stir ftry pan with back bacon

crushed garlic and dry herbs added to chicken and bacon

i should have steamed the veg before the stit fry for time efficiency. lesson learned!

stock post now has the meat proteind, and green lentils, and balck eye peas. the veg will be added and all will be combined into a yoghurt based soup

self-gifted two new pans on discount. 7L stock pot and a pseudo wok. #homecook #skycook #cooksky #diycook #foodsky #soup 🍜🍚🧑‍🍳🥢
