(This is too tough) Sliced so finely, you have to summon your inner Japanese chef. It must be fine, delicate, filigree. 2. Fennel 1/3 bulb Sliced very finely. I learnt this from Bill's (the Aussie /Sydney chef) in London. I think the addition of fennel is where the magic happens. 3. A lot of coriander. Chopped up. 1/2 bunch. More. Go crazy. Mint is a lovely addition or substitute if cori not in season. 4. Chopped celery. 1-2 sticks 5.A handful of currants. 6. Teaspoon of orange rind. 7. Vinaigrette. You can use Praise French dressing. (Perfect for this dish) Fiddle with the quantities. You can't go wrong. We eat it all the time! The trick is to go very fine with all shredding. Pharmacy in a Bowl. Charlotte Wood's recipe for lentil soupIngredients Olive oil 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 small red chillies, finely chopped 1 brown onion, finely chopped 1 stick celery, finely chopped 1 leek, finely chopped ¼ white cabbage, finely chopped 1 red capsicum, roughly chopped 3 carrots, roughly chopped 3 litres chicken stock 1 head broccoli, roughly chopped 1 can tomatoes in juice 1 cup French-style (‘blue’) lentils Salt & pepper Parmesan cheese, grated Method 1. Fry the garlic, onion, chilli, celery, leek, cabbage, capsicum and carrots in batches until well browned. 2. Put the chicken stock in a big pot on the stove and bring to the boil, tossing in all the sautéed ingredients. 3. Add broccoli and tomatoes, and simmer till all vegetables are tender. 4. Retaining stock, remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth (or roughly blended, depending on how rustic you like your texture). 5. Return pureed vegetables to stock and add lentils. Simmer for about 15 – 20 minutes or until lentils are tender (more if you want them falling apart). Season well with salt and pepper. 6. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
