Ingredients
-
8 walnut halves, broken into pieces
-
1 onion, finely chopped
-
2 carrots, coarsely grated
-
2 red apples, unpeeled and finely chopped
-
1 tbsp cider vinegar
-
500ml reduced-salt vegetable stock
-
200g kale, roughly chopped
-
20g pack of dried apple crisps (optional)
Method
-
In a dry, non-stick frying pan, cook the walnut pieces for 2-3 mins until toasted, turning frequently so they don’t burn. Take off the heat and allow to cool.
-
Put the onion, carrots, apples, vinegar and stock in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.
-
Once the onion is translucent and the apples start to soften, add the kale and simmer for an additional 2 mins. Carefully transfer to a blender or liquidiser and blend until very smooth. Pour into bowls and serve topped with the toasted walnuts, and a sprinkling of apple crisps, if you like.
