Title: Coconut Black Eyed Soup
Post by: faffa_70 on September 12, 2011, 01:47:09 pm
Coconut Black Eyed Soup

Even though this has chicken stock in it I have put it here as it has the option also for TM Vege stock (which I used)

Ingredients:

260 grams black eyed peas
260 grams red capsicum, roughly chopped
1 onion, peeled and halved
2 Birdseye chillies
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons curry powder
20 grams olive oil
600 grams chicken stock or equivalent water with 1tbsp TM stock concentrate
1 tin tomatoes
400 grams tin coconut cream
Seasoning to taste
Fresh coriander to taste
200 grams cooked brown rice to serve

Preparation:

Place black eyed peas into ThermoServer and cover with boiling water. Set aside.

Place capsicum, onion, chillies, garlic and olive oil into TM bowl and chop for 4 seconds on speed 4. Add curry powder and sauté for 8 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed soft.

Add stock and tomatoes. Blend for 5 seconds by bringing speed up slowly to speed 6.

Drain beans and add to soup. Cook for 25 minutes at 100șC on Reverse + speed 1.

Add coconut cream and heat through for a further 2 minutes at 100șC on Reverse + speed 2.

Add seasoning and snipped coriander. Serve over cooked brown rice.

Tips/Hints:

Tinned tomatoes can be substituted with 6 medium fresh tomatoes. Cut a cross into the base of each tomato and place cross side up into Varoma dish. Add 1L water to TM bowl and steam for 15 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 3 and leave to cool. Peel and core tomatoes and add with stock.

Faffa - are the black eyed peas sufficiently 'cooked' in this time?  I would be inclined to give them a bit of a cook ont he stove top first, but if you have tried this recipe and they worked then this soaking type of cooking would be great.

They were fine Marina I was surprised. Mine were in the Thermoserver for about 10 min longer I guess as I had a phone call  ;) but yes they were cooked nicely.

THis looks interesting Faffa, thank you, I will definitely try this.  Haven't cooked black eyed peas yet and like Marina I thought they would take longer so it's very interesting to know that it can be done that quickly.
