From our friends at Trigony House Hotel, this is a popular re-working of a famous Catalan dish where sweet red peppers are stuffed with “brandade” a salt-cod and olive oil puree which usually has milk or in this case potato added to it. By salting the cod oneself with the garlic salt you get a slightly subtler (but still flavourful) fish than the completely dried salted Cod that you get in the shops. The sweet red pepper sauce is an adaptation of a wonderful recipe from the Gascony area of south western France and is a really great compliment to the saltiness of the fritters.

Serves 8 as a starter
Preparation time: around 25 minutes cooking, plus prior preparation a few days before and on the day of cooking.

Not just a pretty soup! Beetroots are a rich source of carbohydrates, a good source of protein, and have high levels of important vitamins, minerals and micronutrients like potassium and magnesium. They are an excellent source of folic acid and are therefore recommended to women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Betalins are found in beetroot in large quantities. They are antioxidants and prevent the oxidative processes that are thought to be the cause of many diseases. Beetroots contain soluble fibre, which can help reduce blood cholesterol and ‘carotenoids’ and ‘flavonoids’ which help prevent LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol from being oxidised and deposited in the arteries. Cooked beetroot, so that means this soup, is a great source of folate that can protect you against high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s and dementia. It is also crucial to the development of a baby’s spinal cord during the first three months of pregnancy, so a good intake of folate is important to prevent spinal cord defects such as spina bifida.

Spuds aren’t just packed with vitamins. They also contain absolutely no cholesterol. In fact, the fibre in potatoes actually reduces existing cholesterol levels and so helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Potatoes are an easily digestible source of carbohydrate – the body’s main fuel – which your muscles need constantly. This potato soup is a fantastic source of carbohydrates but is low fat – spuds contain 13 times less fat than rice and 5 times less fat then pasta.

Carrots offer the highest amount of beta-carotene (the pigment that gives them their colour, and is also found in squash, cantaloupe melon, apricots, sweet potato and other yellow red and orange fruit) is an antioxidant which is turned into vitamin A in the body and protects against heart disease, strokes, cancer and wrinkles, so it’s anti-ageing. It’s also essential to healthy growth and cell development, vision and our immune system. Adults need 0.7 milligrams a day, which you can get from one medium carrot, so one bowl of this delicious soup does the job. Carrots are also an excellent source of fibre, vitamin K and biotin and rich in vitamins B6 and C, potassium and thiamine. Extensive studies have shown that eating at least one carrot a day (or one bowl of this carrot soup) could cut the rate of lung cancer by half.
