Vegan scotch broth
Background
During the winter months a nice bowl of Β homemade Scotch broth is very comforting indeed! Β This hearty Vegan scotch broth has no meat, not even lamb or beef stock, so itβs suitable for vegans, vegetarians, pescetarians and the health-conscious. It takes a little while to cook so itβs worth making a large pot, then freeze the leftover for another cold day! Β Itβs a very filling, delicious and warming dish!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 stick of celery
- 1 large carrot
- 1 small swede (or Β½ big one)
- 1 turnip
- 100g pearl barley
- 100g split peas (green, yellow or mixed)
- 50g red lentils
- 1.5L vegetable stock
- 100g kale or savoy cabbage
- 2 sprigs of thyme
Instructions
- Put the split peas in a large bowl of water and soak them for a few hours, preferably overnight.
- Put the pearl barley and red lentils in a bowl of cold water, rinse, then drain. Do this several times, until the water is clear. Keep them soaking in the final bowl of water, whilst you start the cooking.
- Finely chop the onion and celery. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently sautΓ© the onion and celery, for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile chop the carrots, then peel and chop the turnip and swede into bite-sized chunks.
- When the onion and celery are soft, add the chopped vegetables, cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Drain the barley & lentils, then the split peas. Add these to the pot, together with the thyme. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then after 5 minutes cover the pan and reduce the heat.
- Simmer gently for about 45 minutes. Check that the barley and the peas are cooked to your liking, then add the kale or cabbage and cook for a further 10-15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
- Serve with crusty bread.
