ROAST PUMPKIN & Onion
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin pieces and Onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, half of the Spice Mix to taste, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway.
START YOUR SOUP
Boil the kettle. Place a pot (large enough for the soup) over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add in the grated garlic and the remaining Spice Mix to taste. Fry for about a minute until fragrant. Stir in the rinsed pearled barley, the vegetable stock, and 350ml of boiling water. Bring back up to the boil, then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally as the water is absorbed and only add more if required during the cooking process. On completion, the grain should be al dente. Drain if necessary and remove from the heat.
FINISH IT OFF
When the veggies are cooked through and soft, pop them in a blender or food processor. Add 100ml of boiling water and the coconut cream, reserving a little for garnish. Blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot over a medium heat. Add the cooked barley and sliced biltong, reserving some for garnish. Stir until heated through and season to taste.
WARM YOUR BELLY!
Warm up a bowl for the soup! Serve some hearty pumpkin and barley soup with a swirl of the remaining coconut cream and use the remaining Ostrich biltong for garnish. Finish off with dollops of coriander & chilli pesto. Scrumptious, Chef!
