Recipe By: The Belworth House

 

Ingredients:

 

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 pounds carrot, peeled and sliced

4 quarter-size sliced of peeled fresh ginger, lightly smashed

2 cups chicken stock

½ Cup Gewurztraminer

Salt and freshly ground pepper

2-3 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp honey

Dash of hot sauce

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Sour cream

 

Method: 

 

Heat the oil in a large saucepan.  Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.  Add the carrots and ginger and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add 2 cups of the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.  Cover and simmer over low heat until the carrots are tender, about 25 minutes.  Strain the cooking liquid into a heatproof bowl.  Discard the ginger.  In a blender, puree the vegetables with 1 cup of the cooking liquid until smooth.  Stir the puree into the cooking liquid in the bowl and add the lemon juice, honey and remaining ½ cup of stock and ½ cup Gewurztraminer. Refrigerate until chilled or for up to 1 day.  Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce and serve garnished with cilantro leaves and a dollop of sour cream.
