A taste of Anglo India Mulligatawny Soup ! One for you Daniella!

  Mulligatawny Soup 4 servings

As a child growing up in the UK brown Windsor and Mulligatawny soup were very much part of my culinary experiences. This morning I woke up craving Mulligatawny soup . I am not sure why, as I haven’t had any for at least 25 years !
But this spice scented soup is simple to make and you adapt it to be vegetarian or vegan.
I made mine with a chicken stock today because I had some in the freezer.
 The smell when cooking gently wafted me back the earliest memories of my  culinary adventures  in my  childhood .

2 onions finely chopped
3 cloves garlic finely chopped

Not Schmaltz At All ( healthy chopped liver)

Chopped liver often mocked, reproduced and joked about, as traditionally Jewish as chicken soup.  Chopped liver can be made with any type pf liver but personally I prefer the traditional  favorite of chicken livers. Chopped liver was traditionally fried in schmaltz (chicken fat ) which over the years has given way to oil, my no fry no oil version tastes just as good but weight watchers can eat with guilt. Nutritional Value Liver is a nutrient-rich food and the ingredients in the chopped liver recipe add more nutrients to the mix. Liver is high in vitamin A, which is dangerous to unborn babies so pregnant mothers should avoid liver in any form.It also contains  vitamin C  choline,  betaine, of vitamin B-12,  retinal and vitamin E  also  of vitamins B-6, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and thiamin in lesser amounts It also contains the following minerals  Its high in i ron, magnesium,  phosphorus,  potassium,  zinc,  copper, manganese  selenium . If eaten frequently,

  Perfect Hot Salt Beef Sandwich When I was twenty I was lucky enough to work a stall in the world famous   Petticoat Lane market   on   Sunday   mornings, Back in the day the market was mainly Jewish market traders   we were part of the very special history of the East End of London, The excitement, hustle and bustle, comradeship between the stall holders was second to none, we worked all weathers , and shared each other’s joys and sorrows.   but the icing on the cake was visiting Blooms on Whitechapel Road after trading had finished for a succulent hot salt beef sandwich, nothing can erase these memories from my mind even though its over half a century ago. When Danny Brummer  “Z"L”  was running the Deli in Hove Street, I use to cook with him, back in the day we use to pickle our own beef but nowadays you can buy it ready pickled from Gilberts, this is the recipe we used to serve hot salt beef sandwiches to the Brighton and Hove Jewish community   1.5 kilos ready pickle
