Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 2large carrots, peeled but left whole for now
  2. Mushrooms
  3. Leek
  4. Apricots
  5. White onions, very thinly sliced 1tsp of garlic paste
  6. Salt and fresh ground pepper Selection of fresh herbs such as coriander, sage, parsley etc…

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelise the vegetables in a large pot with a tiny amount of butter.
    Add about 200ml of water just to loosen.
    Then add the garlic and your selection of fresh herbs.

  2. 2

    Give it a gentle stir and add in the remaining water.
    Bring to the boil, then simmer for a few hours checking regularly on the stock level.

  3. 3

    Once it’s done, drain into a clean saucepan through a very fine sieve or preferably a muslin cloth to catch all of the vegetables and herbs. Leave the vegetables to one side.
    This will leave you a clear (Ish) consommé
    Gently simmer away while you prepare your vegetables.

  4. 4

    Heat a griddle pan and slice up some mushrooms.
    Add a touch of butter and gently griddle the mushrooms.

  5. 5

    In a small saucepan sauté the onions, leeks, apricots and carrots from the vegetable broth in butter.

    Serve a warm deep sided bowl with the vegetables in the centre and the slices of mushrooms on top.
    Season to taste and then Carefully poor the consommé around the vegetables.
