Coconut Prawn Soup

For the second weekend in a row we are making coconut prawn soup for a starter; the recipe we have used is derived from the Systembolaget recipe collection (very small portions, double the recipe if you use it!). The soup is delicious and quite easy and quick to make. It looks nice too.

Start off by peeling 800 grams of carrots, and cut them into slices. Peel and cut a red onion, chop a couple of cloves of garlic and finely chop a red pepper. Fry onion, pepper and garlic for a while and add the carrots. Keep frying for a while. Add 5 dl of water and a vegetable stock cube. Crush a couple of sprigs of lemon grass and put in the soup. Boil until the carrots are soft, take the lemon grass out and then blend the soup. Add two cans of coconut cream and some fish sauce.

Mix prawns with lemon and fresh chilli. Add to bowls and pour the soup over. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve.

Ginger Pork

Not a favorite of mine, but Kalli loves it. I like the idea of it because of the fresh and interesting ingredients, but it is not my thing. The taste of ginger I think is a bit overwhelming and I would have liked the vegetables to be more done. The recipe is to be found here.
