What did you cook or eat today (August 2023)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

This will be our evening meal. I've tried a photo before hubby gets home so this doesn't include added protein...

The recipe is from one of my new cookbooks (tahini & turmeric by Vicky Cohen & Ruth Fox)
Saffron infused cauliflower soup with sumac oil.

And I realise I've forgotten the lemon juice in the oil! Lol. At least it's not too late yet.
I didn't use much sumac oil because I wanted to put the soup back into the pot to reheat later on.

Ooh that looks terrific - I have a cauli in the fridge, and some sumac so I might give that a go (found recipes on Google).

Is reheating sumac/oil a bad idea? Not that experienced with it.

The oil, sumac, lemon juice isn't heated (though I did warm the oil mixed with ground sumac initially and allowed it to cool before adding the lemon juice).

I didn't want to reheat the oil mixed into the soup because it would change the appearance of the soup once mixed it. Reheating oil and sumac isn't an issue it's just like any other spice in that sense.

This recipe is onion, garlic, cauliflower (lots of), saffron and veg stock, nothing more. It uses a lot of ground sumac but that's where a lot of the flavour is (along with lemon juice and saffron).

Subsequently hubby dressed 2 bowls and served it with tempeh to add some protein to the evening meal. And then insisted I took photos. I didn't tell him I already had!
