##  Roast Carrot &amp; Coriander Soup: Lizzie King, Lizzie Loves Healthy 

 

Serves

 Makes 2 litres 

 



Total Time

 40 Minutes 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    1kg of carrots  

   2 onions, roughly chopped  

   3 garlic cloves  

   1 tbsp of olive oil  

   1 tbsp of coriander seeds  

   1 .5 litres of chicken or vegetable stock  

   Handful of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve  

   1 tsp of ground coriander  

   Pumpkin seeds, to sprinkle  

   Salt and pepper  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Chop the carrots once or twice, depending on size, to get 7cm lengths.



 Step 2 

Toss the carrots and onions in the olive oil with the garlic cloves with the seeds, and tumble into a large baking tray. Roast the veg for 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until soft but not fully browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly.



 Step 3 

Tip the veg into a powerful blender along with the stock and whizz until smooth. Add the parsley and coriander and whizz again. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley. Keeps for three days in the fridge and freezes for three months.

##  Salt &amp; Pepper Fried Tofu With Carrots, Beans &amp; Chilli Dressing: Annie Rigg, Eat More Veg 

 

Serves

 Serves 4 

 



Total Time

 20 Minutes 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    250g of firm tofu  

   2 tbsp of cornflour  

   1 tsp of Sichuan peppercorns, crushed  

   1 tsp of sea salt flakes, lightly crushed  

   50g of unroasted cashews  

   2 tbsp of caster sugar  

   2 tbsp of soy sauce  

   1 red chilli, sliced  

   1 tsp of crushed dried chilli flakes  

   1 tsp of grated ginger  

   1 clove of garlic, crushed  

   1 large carrot  

   100ml of rice vinegar  

   125g of fine beans  

   3 spring onions, sliced  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Drain the tofu well on kitchen paper and cut into 2cm cubes. Combine the cornflour, crushed Sichuan peppercorns and sea salt flakes on a small tray. Add the tofu and mix well to coat on all sides.



 Step 2 

Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or deep-sided frying pan. The oil is hot enough when a small piece of bread sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds. Cook the tofu in the hot oil, in batches, until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside. Quickly cook the cashews in the hot oil until golden, and add to the tofu. Carefully pour off all but 1 tbsp of the oil from the pan.



 Step 3 

In a small saucepan combine the rice vinegar, caster sugar, soy sauce, sliced chilli, chilli flakes, ginger and garlic. Simmer over a medium heat for 2 minutes.



 Step 4 

Peel the carrot and cut it into batons. Cut the fine beans in half on the diagonal. Return the wok to a medium-high heat, add the carrots and beans, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until tender. Add the tofu, cashews and chilli dressing, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until bubbling and hot through.



 Step 5 

Scatter with the sliced spring onions and serve.

##  Carrot &amp; Seed Crackers: Davina McCall, Davina's Sugar-Free In A Hurry 

 

Serves

 Makes 25 

 



Total Time

 55 Minutes 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    100g of blanched almonds, lightly toasted  

   50g of sunflower seeds  

   50g of pumpkin seeds  

   2 tbsp of golden linseeds  

   1½ tbsp of cumin seeds  

   2 large carrots, coarsely grated  

   4 tbsp of sun-dried tomato paste  

   2 tbsp of olive oil, plus extra for greasing  

   1 tsp of sea salt  

   Black pepper  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas Mark 6.



 Step 2 

Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan for a few minutes, then set them aside to cool. Put the almonds into a food processor and pulse a few times until they are coarsely chopped. Add the seeds (reserving the half tablespoon of cumin seeds for later) and pulse a few more times until everything is combined but still coarsely chopped.



 Step 3 

Add the carrots, sun-dried tomato paste, olive oil and a tablespoon of cold water, then season with a teaspoon of sea salt and some black pepper. Blend until the mixture is sticky and holds together if you pinch a bit in your fingers, but is still quite coarsely chopped.



 Step 4 

Lightly oil a baking tray and spread the mixture over it to a thickness of about ½cm. Smooth it flat with wet hands and sprinkle with the remaining cumin seeds.



 Step 5 

Bake the crackers in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden and firm to touch. Remove them from the oven, trim the edges and discard, then cut into 25 rectangles. Carefully turn them over and put them back in the oven for another six to eight minutes to crisp them up a little more. Take them out and leave to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, and then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool.



 Step 6 

To serve, spread with light cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and a few basil leaves or sliced avocado, a squeeze of lime and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds. You can also use these crackers instead of crisps for scooping up dips.

Serves

 Serves 2 

 



Total Time

 50 Minutes 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    500g of heirloom carrots, cut in half length-ways (if using regular carrots cut into finger-length batons)  

   2 tbsp of olive oil  

   2 sprigs of thyme, leaves plucked  

   Salt and black pepper  

   4 tsp of runny honey  

   125g of bulgur wheat, cooked and cooled

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6. Line a roasting tray with greaseproof paper.



 Step 2 

Put the carrots in a mixing bowl, add four teaspoons of the olive oil, the thyme leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Transfer to the lined roasting tray and roast for about 40 minutes, turning them around occasionally until they’ve started to take on some colour. Drizzle over the honey and roast for a further 10 minutes or so.



 Step 3 

Meanwhile, place the cooked bulgur in a mixing bowl and combine with the parsley and mint, the remaining two teaspoons of olive oil, the lemon juice and a touch of salt and pepper.



 Step 4 

Place the bulgur mix in a serving bowl and top with the carrots, labneh, walnuts and pomegranate seeds.
