小建議 (Tips) :

這個菜式可以獨自當一個菜,亦可加意粉伴食。如加意粉,先將意粉煮7-8分鐘,瀝乾,再放入剛煮好的青口,攪拌後就可以上碟了。

This one can be a standalone dishes with soup or enjoy it with spaghetti. If you have it with spaghetti, just cook the spaghetti with salt in 7-8 minutes and put it back to the mussels soup and mix it.

澳洲南瓜湯 (Butternut Squash Soup)

DSC01794

Butternut Squash是盛產於澳洲及新西蘭的一種南瓜,但中文翻譯就有好幾個名字(台灣也有兩個名 : 奶油瓜或冬南瓜),比我們平常吃的南瓜除了外型不是㘣形外,其甜味是比較清香的,煮後也不是好像平時的泥狀;在香港超市買到的大多數是澳洲進口的,因此在這個blog稱為「澳洲南瓜」吧。

今次這個南瓜湯有別於南瓜濃湯,做法沒有那麼復雜的。買不到也可以用一般圓形的南瓜代替的。

材料(ingredients) {2人份量 [for 2 person]}:

澳洲南瓜 (Butternut Squash)-300g
蒜頭(garlic)-2瓣 (2 cloves)
西芹(celery)-1條 (1 stick)
紅蘿蔔(carrots) (最好選擇細小的品種) -1個
紅洋蔥(red onion) -半個 (half)
迷迭香 (Rosemary) -2條 (2 sprigs) [沒有新鮮可用乾的]
鼠尾草 (Sage leaves)-4片
雞湯 (chicken stock)-1公升(1 Litre)
鹽(salt)
黑胡椒碎 (ground black pepper)
橄欖油(olive oil)
紅辣椒 (Red Chilli)-Optional

DSC01782

做法(Method) :

1. 把蒜頭、西芹、紅蘿蔔、紅洋蔥及澳洲南瓜切成粒;
Garlic, celery, carrot, red onion and butternut squash peeled and chopped;

DSC01784

2. 準備一個平底鑊,開小火,先加入橄欖油及鼠尾草,把鼠尾草炒至深綠色盛起,留下橄欖油;
prepare a saucepan, small in heat, add olive oil and sage leaves, fry it until dark green and quickly remove it, leave the olive oil in the pan;

3. 開中火,把蒜頭、西芹、紅蘿蔔、紅洋蔥、迷迭香放入煲,加入鹽及黑胡椒碎,將所有材料炒至軟身;
medium heat, throw in garlic, celery, carrot, red onion, rosemary, salt and black pepper, cook until all vegetables are soft;

DSC01787

4. 加入澳洲南瓜及雞湯,用小火煮30分鐘;
add in butternut squash and chicken stock, small heat and cook for 30 minutes;

DSC01789

5. 30分鐘後,檢查南瓜是否軟身及熟透;
after 30 minutes, check the butternut square is cooked throughly and soft.

6. 最後用電動手提式攪拌機,均勻地把湯內的材料打蓉至平滑,試味,完成。
use a hand blend pulse it until you have a smooth puree, taste it, finished.

小建議 (Tips) :

可以加上一片法包,先將巴馬臣芝士刨滿法包兩面,用手把芝士按在包上,用以前煮鼠尾草的橄欖油,開最小的火,把法包放在平底鑊,烘至少少金黃色。然後把做好的法包放入碗底,放入南瓜湯,用炒過的鼠尾草放上湯面,更有風味。
You can add a piece of baguette or ciabatta, put some parmesan cheese in both sides of breads, just press a little bit, put it into the saucepan that with sage olive oil and toast until little brown colour, put the toasted breads at the bottom of the bowl, soup in and put the fried sage leaves at the top for more tasty.
