Spicy Bean and Tomato Soup (Vegan)

I love when Soup Season begins, on these early Autumn rainy and chilly days when a steamy bowl of something hearty feels like hug! (To be fair, I also love when Salad Season begins on the first warm days of Spring; but that's another story!...) This Spicy Bean and Tomato Soup definitely warms you from within, and it is tasty as, too!

You know you’re taking too long to decide what to have for dinner when your dog, who usually stands with her nose literally touching your leg whenever you’re doing anything involving food, leaves the kitchen like “fuck this”

Lamb Rogan Josh

Spicy, fragrant and hearty, this beautiful Lamb Rogan Josh brings back memories of travelling through Southern India ten years ago (oh, dear!) I had fallen in love with the dish, as well as with the country, and remember relishing the gorgeous flavours at a seaside restaurant in Goa! I am so happy, and rather proud, with how it tastes. It might require a bit of time, but it makes a very special lunch on a slow Sunday, and is well worth the effort! Have an excellent one, friends!

1 tablespoon Mustard Seed Oil 

1 teaspoon Graines à Roussir

4 fluffy sprigs Garden Cilantro 

In a large Dutch oven over a medium-high flame, heat sunflower oil with Mustard Seed Oil.

Add Graines à Roussir, Garam Masala, turmeric and cloves. Fry, 1 minute.

Finally, stir in the water and plain yoghurt, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover with the lid, and simmer, one hour to one hour and a half, until the sauce has darkened, reduced and thickened.

Its distinctive earthy, nutty flavor profile can transform even the simplest of recipes into culinary delights. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of cumin seeds, exploring their history, health benefits, and versatile uses in the kitchen.

Cumin seeds are the tiny, oblong-shaped seeds of the Cuminum cyminum plant, a member of the parsley family. Native to the Mediterranean region, cumin has been prized for its flavor and medicinal properties since ancient times. Today, it is cultivated in various parts of the world, including India, the Middle East, and Mexico.

One of the most compelling aspects of cumin seeds is their rich culinary heritage. These flavorful seeds are a staple ingredient in cuisines ranging from Indian and Middle Eastern to Mexican and Mediterranean. In Indian cooking, cumin seeds are often toasted in oil or ghee at the beginning of a recipe to release their aroma and flavor, adding depth to curries, rice dishes, and lentil soups. In Middle Eastern cuisine, they are a key component of spice blends like za'atar and baharat, as well as being used to season meats, vegetables, and bread. Meanwhile, in Mexican cuisine, cumin seeds lend their distinctive taste to dishes such as chili con carne and tacos.

Beyond their culinary appeal, cumin seeds boast an impressive array of health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, cumin seeds are a good source of iron, a mineral essential for healthy blood and energy levels. Studies have also suggested that cumin may have digestive benefits, aiding in digestion and reducing symptoms of bloating and indigestion.

When it comes to incorporating cumin seeds into your cooking, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're roasting vegetables, marinating meats, or seasoning soups and stews, a sprinkle of cumin can take your dish to the next level. For a simple yet flavorful side dish, try roasting carrots with cumin seeds.
