This is great for autumn, perfect as the long nights close in and the temperatures start to drop. Carrot and coriander is a classic combination. I like the addition of orange to provide some acidity, and the ginger for depth of flavour and fragrance. Add a dollop of crème fraiche and sprinkle some toasted flaked almonds on top or serve with crusty French bread to give some crunch.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 large orange
25ml olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 garlic clove, thinly sliced
450g large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 thumb-sized knob of ginger, finely chopped
1 tsp ground coriander
1.5l vegetable stock
1 large bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
4 tbsp crème fraiche (optional)
