MEXICAN



I love mexican - We're a household of pastes/condiments/sauces and stuff in the fridge.
so it's always full but theres nothing to eat without cooking!
Anyway, my gf makes this for me in the TMX - i am not sure what goes into it, as i am usually on guacamole duty while she has prepared it.

It is my favourite thing ever to eat!

FENNEL AND ALMOND SOUP!



I got sick of eating pumpkin soup and brocolli soup and really i am not a massive fan of vegies. but sometimes you just want soup!

Ingredients;
2 -3 TSP of Fennel seeds
1 large onion quartered
3 garlic cloves
2 fennel bulbs quartered
75g almond meal
700ml vegetable stock

Method
Place fennel seeds on TMX - roast on 100 for 10 minutes at speed 1
Add onion, garlic and fennel - pulse to speed 4 for 3 secondss
add a tablespoon of oil.
10 minutes/100 degrees/speed 1
Add almond meal and stock
15 minutes/100 degrees/speed 1
Let it cool for a couple of minutes
PULSE to blend.

I am slowly becoming obsessed with garnishes
The one here is as follows;

1 garlic clove
1/4 cup italian parsely
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
a tablespoon of lemon juice
Olive oil

Put in TMX and blitz

Drizzle over soup.
I also drizzle over some balsamic vinegar
