Soup on any menu or even at home …especially at my home means left overs, using up bones etc..not that glamerous really. BUT there is a way to wow your guests, families, friends or even just making it fun for yourself.
Putting soup in a home made bowel.. MADE OF BREAD! get a simple flat-bread recipe and mould it to a bowl and cook it. to serve spoon your soup into the bread-bowel and serve ASAP. its so fun and looks great and gives the soup A BIT MORE OF A VIBE
If ever there was an oppertunity to say AWOOOGA, this is it…. oh wow.
Take some ready-made filo pastry and flatten out 4 sheets…spread a little melted butter over each one and layer one on top of the other… in the center of the top piece of filo put some chopped basil leaves, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, drizzle on some reduced balsamic vinegar (not too much..don’t want to drown the goats cheese or soak the pastry) and then spoon on a good dollop of goats cheese…. sprinkle with salt and pepper and its happy days…..
take up the corners of the filo pastry and twist upwards and together…smash it in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 or until golden brown and serve HOT. AWOOOGA
AMAZING.
Great starter options served with a fresh green salad or as a beautiful summer picnic lunch with warm, fresh, crusty bread and a selection of cheese.
Recipe for the filling:
Diced sweet potatom baked in the oven with rosemary, olive oil and seasoning.
Mix this in a bowel of chopped sun dried tomatos, plenty of crumbled feta, fried sliced red onion and roughly chopped basil.
Before ready to serve place mixture in cases and add the egg mix. I use a couple of eggs mixed together with seasoning and a dash of cream
bake in the oven until the egg mix has set- usually around 15 minutes
delicious
