VEGETABLE SOUP (CREMA DE VERDURAS)








I know this is a very simple recipe, but I LOVE IT, so I would like to share it with you!

You will need:

Courgette
Potatoes
Leek
Onion
Garlic
Carrot
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Method





 Method:

 Just chop everything into pieces, add 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper and water just to cover them all. Cook until soft (around 20-30 min) and wait until it gets cold.
 I like it thick so I drain a little bit of water (maybe 1 or 1 and 1/2 cup). Then blend it up and that's it!!
 Obviously you can add any vegetable that you like. I love it with butternut squash too :D









Serve it with a little bit of olive oil and enjoy!!

QUICK, EASY AND DELICIOUS BREAD!


                          
        


      YOU WILL NEED:



        
        175ml of water
        1 tablespoon of olive oil
        1 sachet of fast action dried yeast
        300gr of Wheat flour (aprox 2 and 1/2 cups)
        1/2 tablespoon of salt
        You can also add any seeds, nuts, oats...
    
      


        METHOD:
        
          Mix water with olive oil and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds aprox
          
          Add Yeast and stir until get a good mixture
     
                            
     
   
         Mix everything in a bigger bowl
      


                          




   You don´t have to knead it too much, just for 3-4 minutes until get the shape that you are looking for (If the dough stick a lot in your fingers just add a little bit of flour) 


                             


         Put oil in a mould and spread it!



       
         
         And now the most important step:
       
         Put the dough in the mould, paint it with some olive oil and a pinch of flour. With a knife mark some lines on the top of the dough as you can see in the pic


                         


            Cover the mould with aluminium foil (It has to be well covered)




           Introduce it in the COLD oven. DON´T PRE- HEAT IT.
           
           Now 230º for at least 45 minutes. You can check the colour removing the foil and then cook it for more time if necessary. My oven is a bad one so I need to cook it for one hour.
