MOROCCAN SPICED POTATO LEEK SOUP - MOM'S RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat up a large pot on medium-high and add your chopped leeks. Cook for 4 minutes while continuously stirring. Add your diced potatoes and submerge in water. Add your bouillon cube and all of your spices and cover your pot. Cook for 20- 25 minutes.
• Remove the lid and check the consistency of your potatoes. They should be completely cooked (almost mushy). Remove from heat and let cool down for 10 minutes before adding to the blender. Blend your soup until completely smooth and pour back into the pot.
• Reheat on low heat and check the consistency. If the soup is too thick for your liking add 1/2 cup of almond milk (or any milk you like) and stir.

POTATO LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium Dutch oven, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the potatoes, leeks and celery. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the chicken broth, thyme sprigs, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the thyme sprigs. Transfer about 4 cups of the soup to a blender. Remove the top insert from the lid and cover with a kitchen towel. Puree until smooth, 30 seconds. Add to Dutch oven with the remaining chunky soup. Stir in the cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the soup is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Season the soup with more salt and pepper. Garnish with celery leaves, hot sauce, prepared fried onions and another drizzle of heavy cream, if you like.

GOLDEN LEEK AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
• Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
• Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.

MOROCCAN SPICED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, cinnamon, and paprika; set aside.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Place the wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil; swirl to coat wok, and heat until just starting to smoke. Add the potatoes and reserved spices, and saute, stirring frequently, until potatoes just begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil, red onion, and garlic, and continue to saute, stirring frequently until potatoes are golden, about 8 minutes more. Add the raisins, and stir to combine. Remove from heat; stir in the lemon juice and dill. Serve garnished with lemon zest and mint.

MOROCCAN SPICED ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Mince/crush the garlic and set aside in a bowl.
• Add the other spice paste ingredients and mix.
• Cover and leave for at least an hour before using, for the flavours to blend.
• After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a slightly higher temperature).
• Peel and quarter the potatoes (cut larger potatoes into smaller chunks).
• Simmer them in a pan of boiling water for 5-6 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and gently shake them in the pan to roughen the edges (this produces crispy roasties!).
• Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. Add the spice paste and toss to coat the potatoes completely.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until done, turning halfway through cooking.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
