cozy winter meal

[Guest guest]

From two different recipe books, we have found together they make a cozy small

winter meal:

 

Carrot Potage

 

1 lb. carrots

1 medium size potato

1 medium size onion

1 oz. margarine

1 tsp. thyme and sage

2 pints vegetable stock

1 tsp yeast extract

salt and pepper to tast

 

Chop the vegetables. Melt the butter, add the onion, and sauté until

transparent. Add the remaining ingrediants, bring to a boil, reduce heat and

simmer, covered, for 1/2 hour. Allow to cool slightly, then blend in blender in

small quantities until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

 

Ploughman's Sandwich

 

Fresh, crusy bread

butter or margarine

2-4 oz. good-quality aged Stilton cheese

crisp lettuce leaves

1 firm tomato, sliced

pickled onions or other pickles (cornichons are good, miniature onions in

balsamic vinegar are really good)

 

Warm the bread, cut it into thick slices and arrange on a platter with the

remaining ingrediants so people can make their own sandwiches. Good served with

a glass of beer or apple cider.

 

Alternate: instead of a Ploughman's Sandwich, vegans could make a grilled

soy-cheese sandwich with tomatos. That is just as tasty with the soup.
